Three CPHCE researchers have been awarded travelling fellowships as part of APHCRI's new Linkage and Exchange scheme. The fellowships will offer an opportunity for CPHCE researchers to discuss the results of the systematic reviews carried out through the APHCRI Stream 4 funding program with colleagues overseas
.
Dr Sarah Dennis will travel to universities in the United Kingdom to build on her previous work with Prof Nick Zwar concerning chronic disease management.

Julie McDonald will travel to Canada following from her work on comprehensive primary health care models, and will work with Prof John Lavis and colleagues at McMaster University and with Prof William Hogg at the University of Ottawa.

A/Prof Gawaine Powell Davies will travel to the Netherlands to look at how they coordinate care there, especially for people with chronic conditions, and how they link policy and practice in these areas. He will work with Dr Guus Schrijvers at the University of Utrecht.

These travelling fellowships offer all three researchers a good opporunity to take their work to an international audience and to bring a broader prespective to their work on their return to Australia.
