He has experience of applying organisation development models such as the Excellence Model in healthcare settings and the application of lean and six sigma in health care. His research interests are varied and include quality and patient safety improvement in primary care, including culture, leadership, variation in primary healthcare and strategies to improve them. Dr Dawda recently completed an evaluation study examining the possibility of a dedicated clinical leadership role at the meso level, in fact a Medicare Local Implementation Adviser role that can support the implementation of evidence into practice; and enhance capacity to use research effectively to improve practice and health outcomes. Early evaluation of the role has identified many benefits for having the role including long term engagement of GPs and other primary health care clinicians, consumers and academics in practice based primary health care networks. The role appears to create a leadership role with the capacity to look strategically at improving quality across both primary health care service delivery and service design.
