Benefits for CHASE partners
Collaborating in research and development in a
University-based centre offers mutual advantage. The collaboration itself
is important - it breaks down barriers between theory and practice,
and encourages positive relationships between health professionals,
health consumers, carers, researchers and communities. Specifically,
participation in CHASE will provide partners with increased capacity
to drive positive social change, through policy development, workforce
development and research.
As partners in CHASE, participants are able
to contribute to:
- independent commentary and public leadership
on key issues, including evidence-based policy advice;
- increasing the skills of the current workforce
and supporting recruitment and retention of staff who work within
the broad areas relevant to health and social exclusion;
- collaborative research projects utilising a
team approach, with the potential for practical and theoretically relevant
outcomes useful to all parties;
- publishing and dissemination of research findings
in a range of contexts, including conferences, seminars, public forums,
reports and journals;
- new research opportunities, priorities and
initiatives that are consistent with the needs of the partner organisations
and people at risk of social exclusion;
- the development of skills and career opportunities
for themselves and others contributing to the work of CHASE; and
- the enhancement of health and social outcomes
of people who experience any of the multiple problems associated
with
social exclusion or who are at risk of doing so.
