About us

Health Translation Queensland is a partnership organisation bringing together world-class Queensland universities, research institutes and health services to help translate well-evidenced research into clinical practice.

At Health Translation Queensland, we connect the people and ideas needed to turn research into better health service delivery. By linking researchers with clinicians and consumers, we help tackle health service priorities and drive improvements in clinical practice.

As a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) accredited Research Translation Centre, we work to build the capability of our research translation workforce and to remove barriers to collaboration to accelerate research translation into clinical practice.

With the support of our partners, we’re ultimately helping Queensland’s health system become more connected, capable, innovative and responsive through research translation.

What is health research translation?

Health research translation is the process of taking scientific discoveries and turning them into practical applications that improve health outcomes and patient care. Without effective translation, valuable research findings may remain isolated in academic journals and not reach health care providers who can use them to inform and improve patient care.

Health research translation has many benefits, all affecting public and global health, including:

  • improved patient outcomes
  • enhanced health care practices
  • advancement of innovation and technologies
  • cost savings
  • reduction in medical errors
  • increased research funding and support
  • empowerment of patients and communities.
