Our Research Central Coast Local Health District NSW Health

We acknowledge the traditional owners of lands on which we meet and conduct our research and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and to their culture, heritage and spirituality. This research investigates the end of life journey for people with dementia and their carers on the Central Coast. It will improve understanding of the services provided to people with dementia in their final year of life and the carer experiences during this time. It will co-design with carers and service providers a model of care to support integrated end of life care for people with dementia. The CCRI supports the adoption of research into policy and practice through a range of support services that include education and training opportunities, an integrated care evidence service, and support to the design, implementation and evaluation of integrated care programs.

Researchers will have access to dedicated and collaborative spaces, including specialist anatomy, histology and molecular laboratories and a microbiological physical containment level 2 – or PC2 – lab fit to carry out world-class research. Warwick, RI — The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) proudly announced the winners of its 2025 Student Film Festival following a weekend of cinematic talent and storytelling. The festival kicked off with a red-carpet gala on Friday, May 10, and continued on Saturday, May 11, with a full day of student film screenings.

But she never expected what would happen after she walked across the stage at Amica Mutual Pavillion on May 15. Place-based interventions are complex, involving multiple stakeholders and a range of initiatives with long-term aspirations for change within communities and there is limited evaluation on the impacts of place-based approaches due to their complexity.

  • This project involves recruiting 18 and 19 year olds to approach packaged liquor outlets and attempt to purchase alcohol without producing ID.
  • Throughout the spring, CCRI Art & Design students collaborated with CCRI STEM professors and students to create original, science-inspired art projects.
  • Students enrolled in a degree program who have completed 12 credits with a grade point average of 3.25 or higher this semester with no grade lower than “C” are eligible for this scholastic honor.
  • There is a scarcity of Australian studies regarding school based interventions to address sugar sweetened drink intake for secondary school students.
  • “The University of Newcastle believes that our new Central Coast Clinical School will strengthen the connection for students between education and healthcare on the Central Coast,” Professor Zelinsky said.

The District is also active in Quality Improvement (QI) projects, which are those activities that evaluate practices that are already being undertaken with the aim of improvement in healthcare delivery and outcome. It brings together regional healthcare providers and research organisations to deliver innovative models of care to improve the health of our regional communities. Ten student-athletes from the Community College of Rhode Island were honored last week for their athletic and academic achievements as part of the annual Scholar-Athlete Awards held in House Chamber of the Rhode Island State House. The Legislative Awards are designed to provide public recognition for student-athletes from CCRI, Rhode Island College, and the University of Rhode Island for significant achievements in their academic and athletic pursuits.

The Central Coast Clinical School and Research Institute building in numbers

The CCRI will also seek to become a recognised international centre of excellence in research and innovation in integrated care and population health through the building of effective research partnerships across Australia and the Asia-Pacific. The development of the CCRI is underpinned by a shared agenda between the University of Newcastle (UON) and Central Coast Local Health District to undertake translational research that will improve care experiences and care outcomes for people. The CCRI will work alongside the newly-created UON Central Coast Clinical School to build a world-class research, innovation and education environment that enables improved health and wellbeing for the Central Coast community and communities internationally. The Central Coast Research Institute for Integrated Care undertakes translational research into the development and implementation of new models of integrated care. By supporting the adoption of integrated care in policy and practice, the CCRI aims to bring tangible benefits to the health and wellbeing of the Central Coast community and beyond. The building will include three simulation labs, and laboratory settings that would expose students to real-life situations they could expect to experience as public health providers when they entered the workforce.

Simplifying care Enriching lives

Getting to the CCCSRI buildingLocated in the Gosford CBD, the CCCSRI building is adjacent to the main pedestrian entry of Gosford Hospital. You can access the building from Holden Street (north and south), or alternatively via the car park exits on Showground Road. Warwick, RI — Samantha Lescarbeau resilientinvestment.org knew she would experience one life-changing event at CCRI commencement.

This project will benefit carers and healthcare professionals by empowering them to co-design an end of life pathway that is informed by their lived experience. The translation of a model of care developed from this project will enable people with dementia and their carers to navigate their healthcare journey in line with their preferences and goals of care. Research project is led by CCLHD and has involved 85 secondary schools in a total of five NSW local health districts. It evaluates a whole of school approach to encouraging secondary school students to choose water as their main drink, instead of sugary drinks. The purpose of the CCRI is to deliver pioneering research that improves the health and wellbeing of the Central Coast community, including supporting innovations in the development and evaluation of new models of person-centred integrated care.

This research will provide the first detailed characterisation of when and why residents of the Central Coast access emergency care towards the end of life. The preferences of patients and carers and a detailed exploration of carers’ experiences will shed further light on the enablers and barriers to quality and integrated care. The recommendations developed from this research will guide care for people and carers at the end of life who access health services in hospital and community setting on the Central Coast. The Central Coast Research Institute acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land, the Darkinyung people, on whose land the Institute is situated and we welcome all who visit this place.

National Science Foundation’s EPSCoR initiative, this collaboration highlights creative potential that emerges when these two disciplines meet. The outcome of this study will be used to determine the most effective method to reduce illicit alcohol sales to minors within the current legal regime. This work may also contribute to addressing the need for policy change to allow compliance bodies to use minors to monitor for illicit alcohol sales to minors.

We know that Universities can transform local economies like the Central Coast and help drive future job growth and opportunities. The CCRI and UONCCCS  will operate partnerships between the University of Newcastle and the Central Coast Local Health District and will see staff move into the new building from early 2021, with students to be welcomed from Semester 2, in 2021 (August). If you love art or science, and especially if you love both, you’ll want to visit CCRI’s Lincoln Campus this month. Throughout the spring, CCRI Art & Design students collaborated with CCRI STEM professors and students to create original, science-inspired art projects.

Warwick, RI – The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) will launch the next phase of work-based learning to increase internships for students to work directly in workplace environments, gaining valuable skills and experience necessary for college and career success. Recent workshops suggested that residents of the Central Coast may be attending the Emergency Department in the final months of life when this is not the most appropriate or preferred place of care. This research will investigate the experience of CCLHD residents and carers who access the emergency department towards the end of life, and make recommendations for how services might be improved. The CCRI Twinning Programme offers cities and regions across Europe the opportunity to engage in peer learning and knowledge exchange.
