School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
In the broad field of the organization of public authority, attention is directed to policy as a construct in use and the way it is mobilised to shape practice. Particular attention is given to the professionalisation of policy practice and the significance of interlinkage between governmental and non-governmental forms of organization, and of the organising of practice beyond the official sphere.

The variability and dynamics of health care quality across conditions, geo-political boundaries, doctors, facilities is of particular interest. Social network models are used to assess organisational and system-wide behaviour attempting to improve healthcare practices by enhancing communication, dissemination and diffusion of best practices and the translation of new methods, technologies and evidence-based research.

| Dr Margaret Faedo
Prince of Wales Clinical SchoolStatement of Interests:
One of the biggest challenges facing health care systems today is providing patients with access to new and emerging drug treatments, and at the same time ensuring the sustainability of funding. Local health care delivery systems, such as area health services, hospitals and private health insurers are under considerable pressure to fund medicines rejected, restricted or pending approval by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee. There is a need to develop freely available economic models that can adapt easily to local circumstances. This requires new policies and health care practices developed on the basis of sound clinical and economic evidence. Our NHMRC funded program aims to build and disseminate readily accessible evidence about the cost effectiveness of cancer medicines in clinical practice. These models will be available on the Cancer Institute NSW Standard Treatment (CI-SCaT) program, an online resource of more than 500 peer-reviewed cancer treatment guidelines. This is a world first program which will have implications beyond cancer management, addressing one of the most enduring problems in health care: the translation of economic evidence into policy and clinical practice.

| Dr Paul Foley
Prince of Wales Medical Research InstituteStatement of Interests:
I am preparing the first history of the “sleeping sickness” (encephalitis lethargica) epidemic which afflicted the world between the two World Wars. About one-third of victims died during the acute phase; at least equally tragic was the fact that almost all survivors, mostly under the age of thirty years, developed incurable neurological syndromes resembling Parkinson’s disease (as seen in the film ‘Awakenings’). Despite the enormous acute and long term effects of the epidemic, no detailed historical examination of this disorder has ever been published, and its cause never established. In light of the strong possibility that such a disaster could recur without warning, it would appear prudent to have available a documented account of its most recent major appearance as a guide for the future. Further, the occurrence of a large number of cases of parkinsonism clearly secondary to a specific environmental event is highly significant and is expected to provide insights into the occurrence of Parkinson’s disease.

School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
The way in which decisions are reached regarding development and delivery or services both within the international health sector and within the Australian health system impacts upon access and uptake of services by those who are poor or marginalised. Organisational learning and the intentionality of services are key influences upon the equity of and access to health services and ultimately the effectiveness of health systems.

| Professor Anthony Zwi
School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
Professor Zwi focuses on international health and policy and has interests in their interface with equity, social justice and human rights. He seeks to build Australia and Asia-Pacific partnerships and capabilities in public health, health policy, and disaster planning, management and response. He has worked most extensively in the past year in Timor-Leste (East Timor), but also has had recent research projects in Sri Lanka, the Solomon Islands and Cambodia. He is interested in understanding, and improving mechanisms, to facilitate evidence-informed health and development policy. Professor Zwi is keen to build links between humanitarian relief and development organisations and academic institutions. He has interests in injury and violence as public health problems. He heads a team exploring how health-related interventions in countries which have experienced disasters and wars could be more sensitive to culture, conflict, and to rebuilding trust and social cohesion. He and colleagues work on the ethics of research in conflict-affected settings, and the role of service providers and community members, including young people, in shaping and influencing research and responses to violent political conflict. He is keen to build links with health, development and humanitarian NGOs which have a commitment to research and lesson-learning.
