Sydney Health Partners is a new kind of organisation, with a mission to
help translate research into evidence-based healthcare
We aim to deliver the benefits of research innovation to our patients and communities more quickly and consistently.
As an Australian Government-accredited Advanced Health Research and Translation Centre, our partnership aims to demonstrate that new evidence-based interventions can be successfully implemented and scaled-up in large and diverse health systems.
The applied research our Partners lead results in clinicians doing things differently in their daily work, and at every level of healthcare. Together we speed the journey of great ideas into better health outcomes.
