Join us on Tuesday 19 August to hear from experts on Australian models of healthcare for people with intellectual disability, as we launch our new report.
A model of care is how health services are delivered and outlines the best-practice way to care for a person or group. Using the right model is important to make sure healthcare is right for a specific group.
The Centre did a scoping review, meaning we looked at all the current research on the topic, to gather all the information that exists and find any gaps where more research is needed.
From this review, we created a report about the models of care for people with intellectual disability in Australia. The report shows which models work well and are cost effective.
In this 90-minute webinar, the researchers who created the report, along with other experts, will discuss the findings and outcomes of the review.
Register now at our Eventbrite page. A recording will be made available after the webinar.
