But she never expected what would happen after she walked across the stage at Amica Mutual Pavillion on May 15. Place-based interventions are complex, involving multiple stakeholders and a range of initiatives with long-term aspirations for change within communities and there is limited evaluation on the impacts of place-based approaches due to their complexity.
The CCRI will also seek to become a recognised international centre of excellence in research and innovation in integrated care and population health through the building of effective research partnerships across Australia and the Asia-Pacific. The development of the CCRI is underpinned by a shared agenda between the University of Newcastle (UON) and Central Coast Local Health District to undertake translational research that will improve care experiences and care outcomes for people. The CCRI will work alongside the newly-created UON Central Coast Clinical School to build a world-class research, innovation and education environment that enables improved health and wellbeing for the Central Coast community and communities internationally. The Central Coast Research Institute for Integrated Care undertakes translational research into the development and implementation of new models of integrated care. By supporting the adoption of integrated care in policy and practice, the CCRI aims to bring tangible benefits to the health and wellbeing of the Central Coast community and beyond. The building will include three simulation labs, and laboratory settings that would expose students to real-life situations they could expect to experience as public health providers when they entered the workforce.
This project will benefit carers and healthcare professionals by empowering them to co-design an end of life pathway that is informed by their lived experience. The translation of a model of care developed from this project will enable people with dementia and their carers to navigate their healthcare journey in line with their preferences and goals of care. Research project is led by CCLHD and has involved 85 secondary schools in a total of five NSW local health districts. It evaluates a whole of school approach to encouraging secondary school students to choose water as their main drink, instead of sugary drinks. The purpose of the CCRI is to deliver pioneering research that improves the health and wellbeing of the Central Coast community, including supporting innovations in the development and evaluation of new models of person-centred integrated care.

Nearly a quarter (24.9%) of children in Australia aged 5–17 years old are above a healthy weight range, with consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages a contributing factor. There is a scarcity of Australian studies regarding school based interventions to address sugar sweetened drink intake for secondary school students. The CCLHD Research Office supports all forms of scientifically sound, ethically approved research and research support activity. There is a broad spectrum of research activity being undertaken within CCLHD from Low and Negligible Risk research to large scale public health and clinical drug trials.
Using a minor to monitor illicit sales is considered best practice in monitoring tobacco, alcohol and cannabis sales to minors in many parts of the world. There are many ways in which we can utilise research to improve the health and wellbeing of our community. The CCRI seeks to work proactively with community members, health professionals and research partners and welcomes active participation across its Advisory Groups and Communities of Practice. “As we move from the structural phase of construction to the detailed fit-out of the building, the reality of this world-class facility gets closer and I’m pleased that a regional business is continuing its work on this world-class facility,” Mrs Wicks said. “This fantastic facility will ensure our future doctors and nurses benefit from a world-class learning environment, have access to health professionals under the same roof, and be located on the doorstep of Gosford Hospital,” he said. The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) is pleased to announce that it has joined the network of Achieving the Dream (ATD), a national organization committed to advancing community colleges as accessible hubs of learning, credentialing, and economic mobility.
The District is also active in Quality Improvement (QI) projects, which are those activities that evaluate practices that are already being undertaken with the aim of improvement in healthcare delivery and outcome. It brings together regional healthcare providers and research organisations to deliver innovative models of care to improve the health of our regional communities. Ten student-athletes from the Community College of Rhode Island were honored last week for their athletic and academic achievements as part of the annual Scholar-Athlete Awards held in House Chamber of the Rhode Island State House. The Legislative Awards are designed to provide public recognition for student-athletes from CCRI, Rhode Island College, and the University of Rhode Island for significant achievements in their academic and athletic pursuits.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of lands on which we meet and conduct our research and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and to their culture, heritage and spirituality. This research investigates the end of life journey for people with dementia and their carers on the Central Coast. It will improve understanding of the services provided to people with dementia in their final year of life and the carer experiences during this time. It will co-design with carers and service providers a model of care to support integrated end of life care for people with dementia. The CCRI supports the adoption of research into policy and practice through a range of support services that include education and training opportunities, an integrated care evidence service, and support to the design, implementation and evaluation of integrated care programs.
The event drew students, faculty, and local film lovers to celebrate the achievements of CCRI’s talented filmmakers. Students enrolled in a degree program who have completed 12 credits with a grade point average of 3.25 or higher this semester with no grade lower than “C” are eligible for this scholastic honor. But after accepting and thriving in the lead role for the school’s Yellowman production in 2023, Hayden became a fixture of the school’s theater program over the last two years. The research aims to identify components of an effective collaborative place-based and strengths-based model of working with locationally disadvantaged communities with greater health inequities and poorer health. Costigan’s start date is to be determined as she and the council negotiate the terms of her contract.
It pairs cities and regions at similar levels of advancement in their circular economy journeys, creating space for them to share experiences, explore best practices and collaborate on common challenges. Spread across four floors, the University of Newcastle’s new clinical school will feature a 100-seat lectorial space, seminar rooms, problem-based learning spaces and breakout areas for students, as well as a library. Strategies involve activities in the classroom, installation of chilled water stations on site and promotions both within the school and to the wider community, including parents and carers. The intervention has been rigorously evaluated and demonstrated positive outcomes for student drink choice across metropolitan, regional and rural secondary schools. Dr Montague said the facility will carry out world-class research into integrated care and population health, while training the next generation of doctors and nurses. “The University of Newcastle believes that our new Central Coast Clinical School will strengthen the connection for students between education and healthcare on the Central Coast,” Professor Zelinsky said.
Costigan’s selection makes her the second-ever woman and first alumna to serve as the college’s president.
