Series 3: Webinar Three
Recorded Wednesday 5 March 2025
Creating impact: Moving beyond the hospital walls
While effective healthcare can help us treat and manage disease, how do practitioners and the system deal with wider factors that influence our health? Social determinants like where we live, our level of education, how wealthy we are, what job we do, whether we speak English well?
In this webinar, we hear how healthcare and social care professionals, leaders and researchers are coming together to tackle complex issues of health and care.
Our speakers bring extensive real-world experience in identifying problems, prioritising needs, co-designing and implementing solutions, adapting to local context, measuring impact and learning from what is done.
Facilitating discussion is researcher and health implementation scientist Associate Professor Stephanie Best, from The University of Melbourne.

In opening her conversation with CEI’s CEO Dr Robyn Mildon, Suneeta underlined the “fundamental” role of evidence at the Gates Foundation. Data is not only used to identify which challenges to focus on, and what resources and comparative advantages might assist, but also in working out how to adapt and be locally relevant, and to create regular feedback loops that enable continual correction throughout implementation.
