eQC - Register your interest

Hospital site data collection

There is the opportunity for implementation of the electronic nursing assessment system at eight (8) acute care hospital sites. Hospitals can implement the system alongside or instead of their current assessment system. Some funding is available to support hospital infrastructure costs that may be incurred as a result of the implementation for staff and technical set-up (depending on the model chosen).

Please email chsr@uq.edu.au to let Dr Melinda Martin-Khan know of your interest for a follow-up discussion.

Focus groups for lived experience experts

We will be holding a series of focus groups, online via zoom and potentially in-person if it is safe to do so, to discuss quality of care in hospital for people with cognitive impairment. The discussion will be cover a wide range of topics including what information you would like to discuss or receive while in hospital or when leaving hospital, what topics are important for staff to be aware of, and how you would like information to be shared. If you would like to be involved in these focus group discussions, please email chsr@uq.edu.au about the eQC focus groups to express your interest.

Advisory board member vacancy

We are inviting people to apply for three positions which have become vacant in the eQC Patient and Carer Advisory Board.  There is no time limit on applications. Interviews will be held as applications are received from Lived experience experts and the positions filled as suitable people are identified. A primary requirement is experience either receiving health care or supporting someone receiving health care in a health care service.  We are also particularly keen to ensure that the Board is a place where a diverse mix (age, disability, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation) of talented people work together. Therefore we would strongly encourage everyone to apply.

The body of work overseen by the Board is related to quality of care, with a particular focus on people with dementia and cognitive impairment. It is often people with disadvantage who receive poor care. Therefore, in completing your application please describe both your experience with the health care system, any connection you have with people with cognitive impairment, and vulnerable or disadvantaged communities.

Requestfor protocol review by the Advisory Board

The eQC Patient and Carer Advisory Board is available on an ad hoc basis (by application) to provide a patient and care partner perspective on research and policy to the wider research community.  The purpose of The Board is to inform the embedding of partnerships between lived experience experts and researchers at every level of planning, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of research, translation and policy.

The Board will provide advice and feedback to Dr Martin-Khan and her research team, and the wider research community as appropriate, in relation to developing and existing research and policy work.

Fees for services outside of the work coordinated by Dr Martin-Khan will be charged according to the Fees for service table.  After reviewing the process described on this website, the Expression of Interest form should be completed and submitted to chsr@uq.edu.au
