The Opportunity
In collaboration with Monash Health, Victorian Heart Hospital and Victorian Heart Institute, are seeking a medical, nursing or an allied health graduate interested in completing a PhD within an externally-funded project in cardiovascular disease. The project is nested with the Victoria Heart Hospital at Monash Clayton Campus and is focussed on developing and implementing electronic Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (ePROM) systems for heart failure patients. The proposed project will address current gaps in the palliative and supportive care of heart failure patients by enabling a platform for patients to be engaged in the care pathways. This will be clinical research to improve care and palliative care delivery to heart failure patients. As part of the research, the needs of the heart failure patient and carer cohort will be explored and the ePROM co-designed with them to provide proactive care and improved communication between patient and clinicians.
We are looking for applicants who:
- are a medical, nursing or an allied health graduate intending to pursue further research in cardiovascular disease, supportive/palliative care or health services implementation
- are wanting to pursue a clinical research career and receive comprehensive mixed methods research training
