One-stop aged care
A chair of positive ageing and care is to be appointed at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) to oversee a pioneering scheme bringing together community, residential and sub-acute hospital care under a “one stop shop” for aged care.
In a blend of the academic and the practical, the senior position, funded by health and aged care provider, HammondCare, will be established under an agreement with UNSW’s School of Public Health and Community Medicine.
The research position will be located at the new Clinical Training Centre being built with funds from a $3.3 million Federal Government grant, at one of HammondCare’s Sydney facilities, where clinical training placements will be provided for more than 100 medical, nursing and allied health students in 2011.
