Simpson Centre For Health Services Research

The Simpson Centre For Health Services Research was established and funded in 1994 by the New South Wales Health Department to promote research into Health Systems.

The Centre’s fundamental goal is to innovate, develop, implement and evaluate health care systems. In addition, we conduct research to generate new knowledge about existing services and to influence policy and practice.

The Centre consists of researchers and clinicians committed to improving the health and safety of patients. Close co-operation with health care deliverers is a fundamental part of the multi-disciplinary research team. The research is to inform managers and policy makers about more efficient and better ways of conducting business and to enhance health care practices.

Our focus is on programmes and projects that aim to facilitate change and innovation in order to improve health service delivery and patient and staff satisfaction.

We are committed to achieving world class, clinically driven research.

The Centre is affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine within the University of New South Wales, (Australia) and the South West Sydney Local Health District.
