interRAI Knowledge Exchange Forum
P1050373

This event arose from a discussion about the interRAI database and how researchers may be looking for topics on health of older people to explore, while others in the sector may have topics but not the resources or expertise to explore them. We decided to bring everyone together on 4 March 2020. 

The forum was chaired by Dr Brigette Meehan from TAS and Dr Gary Cheung from the University of Auckland and facilitated by Warwick Long from TAS.

Attendees included researchers, DHB leaders and providers, plus representatives from Ministry of Health, Health Quality Safety Commission, Age Concern, Statistics New Zealand and TAS.
