The Primary Health Care Research and Information Service will be launching Snapshot of Australian primary health care research 2010 on behalf of the Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA). The 3rd in a series of annual publications Snapshot 2010 is written by research fellows who have been awarded grants through the Primary Health Care Research, Evaluation and Development Strategy and reflects the progress made to date on their research studies. This 2010 collection is relevant to the key directions of primary health care reform in Australia. The studies focus on people and their families, prevention, chronic disease, multidisciplinary teams, quality improvement, workforce, and Indigenous and rural disadvantage. Copies will be available at the conference - just visit the PHC RIS Information Booth in Hall 1.
Launch: The CARPA Standard Treatment Manual 5th edition
Wednesday 30 June: 1025-1030
The Central Australian Remote Practitioners Association (CARPA) is proud to be launching the 5th edition of the CARPA Standard Treatment Manual (STM) at the 2010 PHC Research Conference. For over 18 years the STM has provided evidence based guidelines in a down-to-earth format for service providers in remote and Indigenous communities. A conscious decision was made to focus on protocols of most relevance to these practitioners with priority given to the daily, the deadly and the daunting. Input from the users of the STM is a core component in the iterative review process, ensuring ‘by the user for the user’ protocols that are relevant, practical and used.
The Centre for Remote Health will be selling CARPA Standard Treatment Manuals from the booth at the cost of $60 each and taking orders for the CARPA Standard Treatment Manual, the CRANAplus Clinical Procedures Manual, the Women's Business Manual and the Medicines Book for Aboriginal Health Workers.

- provide data from experimental projects or development projects on the efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of possible policy responses to identified needs
- contribute to better implementation of national programs through rigorous evaluation of programs in their early stages
- work with policy makers, practitioners and consumers to determine how improvement can be best achieved.
Delegates (researchers, policy makers, practitioners and consumers) will be attending this conference to present, listen, debate and learn how research, evaluation and development will improve primary health care. Be a part of primary health care research and health form and improve care.
