14th Health Services Research Conference

HSRAANZ is very pleased to announce that the 14th Health Services Research Conference will be held in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand
Theme: The Promise and Future of Health Services Research

Health services research holds the promise of transforming healthcare systems by improving access, quality, efficiency, and equity. The 21st century challenges of increasingly fiscally constrained health services, and the dynamic and rapid change in health systems, mean that we have to also adapt the ways we harness expertise across multiple disciplines, develop the evidence-base in ways of working, ways of valuing, ways of researching, and ways of translating evidence into practice for the benefit of all.

While our main theme is the promise and future of HSRAANZ, we warmly welcome and encourage presentations across all aspects of health services research.
