Programme
1 -1.30 : Opening and keynote
Keynote: Healthcare delivery - a personal perspective.
Hilda Mulligan
As Hilda approaches retirement from her professional vocation, this presentation will give her perspectives on healthcare delivery from what she has learnt from clinicians, researchers, and patients (for whom healthcare 'really matters'). She will reflect how an important part of our work as healthcare professionals is to advocate for and provide healthcare that allows for meaningful change in patients' lives.
1.30 – 2.45: “Responding to clinical questions”
Co-creation and evaluation of a digital self-help intervention (iSelf-help) for persistent pain
Persistent pain affects one in five New Zealanders. With only three major tertiary pain services (Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch), the average waiting time for people living with pain to access group-based pain programmes could be up to six months. The idea for this HRC-funded project was evolved from the collaborative work with the Capital & Coast DHB pain service to maximise access to pain programmes. We will share our experiences of co-designing an online-delivered, group-based pain management programme (iSelf-help) and provide strategies to navigate the nuances of clinical research partnerships.
Team: Meredith Perry, Hemakumar Devan, Leigh Hale, Dagmar Hempel (Capital and Coast DHB), Barbara Saipe (Capital and Coast DHB)
“No Mirrors, No Lycra, No judgement”: The Community Exercise Programme for Diabetes and Associated Co-Morbidities
The team will talk about the DCEP journey from a class that was first offered to respond to a health care need, and is now being trialed as part of an HRC funded project trial.
Team: Leigh Hale, Chris Higgs, Ansley Peterson, Science Communication
Clinical research partnerships in concussion
A series of research projects have emerged from local clinicians seeking to improve outcomes for people with concussion. This talk will discuss the evolution, benefits and challenges of the partnerships underpinning these projects from clinician and researcher perspectives.
Team: Ewan Kennedy, Dusty Quinn, Julian O'Hagan, Bret Dougherty, Lisa Brits, Cathy Chapple, Steve Tumilty, Chris Livesey
Tea break 2.45 – 3
3 – 4 : “Working with clinicians”
Supporting allied health professionals in rural areas
This planned research will work with allied health professionals to better understand their scope of practice, the challenges they face and the attributes and skills needed to reach the full potential of their roles in the rural context will inform rural healthcare delivery, health professional training and government policy.
Sarah Walker
Clinical engagement on an Early Activity and Mobilisation Trial
Dan will share how he came to work as a clinician on the clinical engagement on early activity and mobilisation trial.
Dan Seller
Bridges Self-management programme
In this presentation the lessons learnt from the implementation of the Bridges Stroke Self-management Programme (bridges) into a New Zealand District Health Board (Dhb) stroke service will be discussed.

Making sense of shoulder pain: navigating between clinical practice and research
This presentation will describe the development of the Otago Shoulder Health Study. To date, it involved a pilot study with patients and a feasibility study with another group of patients and physiotherapists. Overall, this programme seeks to consider new research-based knowledge with clinical practice, integrating pain and behavioural sciences with usual physiotherapy into clinical practice. Input from the patients and physiotherapists will inform the next step in the research.
