Griffith University -Research Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
The PA Research Foundation helps raise funds for the Research Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation. It's members consist of researchers from nursing, social work, human services, rehabilitation, psychology, physiotherapy, pharmacy and public health. We share a vision that inter-disciplinary research can generate innovations in health and community services.
Our aim is to transform health and community services via the development of collaborative, innovative and sustainable models of care and frameworks for practice among service providers and individuals, families and communities.
 "We undertake cutting edge research that addresses acute and critical care issues. Our research aims to improve survival and quality of life for acute and critical care patients."
Professor Leanne Aitken.Program Leader - Acute and Critical Care Research Program
To improve health and community services, patient outcomes and enhance workforce capacity, we are:
- challenging the traditional practices of health and community service professionals through the development of new and often diverse partnerships in the delivery of sustainable services; and
- focused on developing innovative approaches to the delivery of health and community services via rigorous, multi-method and collaborative research.
These innovations will form the basis for strong evidence-based practice/policy and increased capacity for health and wellbeing in the community. The PA Research Foundation supports major research into Griffiths Acute and Critical Care Unit.
Acute and Critical Care Unit
With one of the strongest acute and critical care research teams in Australia, the unit aims to refine and improve global critical care through evaluation of current practices, development of new therapies and devices and improvement in the survival and quality of lie and acute and critical care patients.
In response to the increasing demand on acute and critical care resources as well as patient and clinician needs, the Acute and Critical Care Unit undertakes internationally significant research in the areas of:
- Recovery from Critical Illness
- Patient Safety
- Symptom Management
- Intravascular Devices
- Emergency Services
- Family Centered Care
