Practice Analytics Summit

Thursday 14 November, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm 

 

Practice analytics explores how data in healthcare can be leveraged to support practitioners in their professional learning and development. By selecting, scaffolding, and sharing appropriate data with practitioners, key stakeholders are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and practical tools required to unlock data-driven insights that would otherwise be unseen.

 

Building on the success of previous summits, the 2024 event brings together another innovating group of keynote speakers, PhD candidates, industry thought leaders, and academics. For the first time, the summit will have themed towards the integration of AI within practice analytics.

Updates and services

Campus Access Policy review

The University adopted the new Campus Access Policy in July this year to provide clearer information about expectations and requirements of conduct on campus.
As part of its implementation, we are running an additional review of the policy before the end of the year to assess its effectiveness and encourage you to share your views. If you want to make a submission, you will need to do so before 30 November.  

Casual Employment Information Statements

We're introducing changes in accordance with the Fair Work Act 2009 to ensure that casual staff members are well-informed about their conditions of employment. All casual staff will receive a Casual Employment Information Statement on a regular basis.

Search issues with Academic Profiles – fix scheduled

A solution is under development for the ongoing issue with Academic Profiles and is planned to be released by Friday 15 November. The issue is currently preventing academic profiles from showing up in search (including Google Search and in some cases the corporate website search).

We acknowledge the tradition of custodianship and law of the Country on which the University of Sydney campuses stand. We pay our respects to those who have cared and continue to care for Country.
