Research Fellows - Health Practitioner Research

‘Research Fellows’ is an umbrella term for health practitioner and allied health researchers in the Queensland public health system. In Queensland Health, our Research Fellows have generally originated from one of the following initiatives:

Health Practitioner Research Fellows

The Health Practitioners (Queensland Health) Certified Agreement (No. 1) 2007 included a research package intended to build research capacity in the health practitioner workforce and support the implementation of evidence based clinical services. This research package provided the necessary funding to establish dedicated Research Fellow positions in the department.

Conjoint and Dedicated Research Positions

Hospital and Health Services (HHS) have several conjoint HHS/university allied health research points and dedicated research positions. These positions have existed for some time and have produced and supported significant research.
