Partnering with rural Chinese villages Improving health for generations Following the launch of the China International Center for of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Chronic Disease Prevention in 2009, the flagship project of Islander Australians the Center – LifeSeeds – was launched in November 2010. It is designed to truly transform rural health in China. Imagine a generation of children disabled due to the There are 120 villages involved in the project, to train local alcohol their mothers consumed whilst pregnant.

Highlights 2010-11 Discoveries in heart care in China In China, chronic diseases such as heart disease and stroke are killing more people every year. To address this The George Institute has established a series of studies to improve the delivery of healthcare. Researchers assessed how hospitals manage acute coronary syndromes and tested a tailored patient intervention designed to improve the rates of treatment. This is the ﬁrst large study to test clinical pathways and involved 75 urban hospitals in China. The trial was completed in 2011 and the results will be due in the coming year. A follow-on study will be launched in July 2011 to assess evidence and treatment gaps in rural hospitals with potentially 20,000 patients participating. The George is working closely with Chinese Government, the Chinese Society of Cardiology and other local health advisors.

Kidney study results save lives Following the completion of the world’s largest study into kidney disease, researchers clearly demonstrated the beneﬁt of treatments to reduce the very high risk of cardiovascular events for people living with chronic kidney disease. Researchers found that cholesterol lowering in patients with kidney disease could unblock arteries and prevent a quarter of deaths. These results were published in The Lancet and will shape the treatment regime for millions of people suffering from chronic kidney disease. Senior Director Renal & Metabolic Division, Alan Cass, will provide input on lipid lowering guidelines to The Kidney Disease International Guidelines Organization, following these new research ﬁndings.

Report reveals true cost of kidney disease One in three Australians over the age of 25 are at risk of kidney disease. These and other exposing facts about Australia’s kidney health were announced in a report for Kidney Health Australia in October 2010. The report outlined the true burden of kidney disease showing over 50 Australians die every day due to kidney-related disease. It also revealed that the annual cost of kidney treatments in Australia is over $1 billion, and explores the beneﬁts of increasing kidney transplantation and providing greater access to dialysis in the home, rather than hospital.

Landmark stroke research will shape critical care The George was awarded an Australian National Health and Medical Research Council Project Grant to allow extension of recruitment and completion of what has been regarded as a ﬂagship stroke study of early intensive blood pressure lowering in 3,000 patients with acute haemorrhagic stroke through 2011-2013. This substantial study will establish the role of surgery in intracerebral haemorrhage and early blood pressure lowering in the acute phase. This study is due to ﬁnish in 2012, with presentation of results in 2013. 11 Shaping global health

Shaping global health Injury, ageing and disability

Beyond research to shape care and improve injury "e devastation of road trauma can be unbearable for survivors and their families, and the impact of a life of disability equally intolerable. As the rate of injury increases and the world’s population ages, the result is a major health, social and economic challenge. Our work aims to ﬁnd new ways to prevent injury and manage the impact of ageing in an eﬀort to avoid disability.

Highlights 2010-11 Improving protection for motorcycle riders Published results of a major study into the effectiveness of motorcycle protective clothing that demonstrated clear beneﬁts from wearing body armour such as jackets, gloves and padded pants. More than 200 motorcyclists die and a further 8,000 are seriously injured on Australian roads each year. With the increasing human and economic costs of motorcycle injuries around the world, research into the effectiveness of protective clothing is fundamental to improving road safety.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander road safety solutions Road injury is a leading cause of fatal and severe injury for Aboriginal Australians. To better understand why, the Institute secured funding for an Aboriginal road safety project, following a successful pilot study completed in Bourke in regional New South Wales. The Institute is now working with Aboriginal Community Controlled health services to develop a larger study to accurately record the factors that impact on road safety and driver licensing from the perspectives of Aboriginal people and their community. Researchers will determine the status of healthcare services to deal with these issues and build a bank of resources to help develop programs with the community.

A new focus on falls in India In order to better understand how to reduce falls in older Indians, researchers conducted grassroots workshops with locals from Chandigarh, India. The workshop was held with both high and low-income residents to get a true understanding of how a program could best work. Researchers wanted to know how a falls program would be perceived and received by the locals. Would they be acceptable to attending and participating? The outcomes of the workshops are now being assessed and a report will help inform fall-related interventions in India.

Recommendations for a safer ageing population Falls and fractures in older people can have a massive impact on their health, lifestyle, families, carers as well as health services. As the world’s population ages, the impact from a million simple stumbles or broken bones will become substantial, and has forced falls prevention to become a public health priority. Researchers at 14 The George Institute reviewed the best research in falls prevention to identify common themes and features for how best to prevent falls. They found that fundamental to avoiding falls is exercise, as results conﬁrmed that well-designed exercise programs can prevent falls in older people and that there are bigger fall prevention effects from exercise programs that challenge balance. Based on these ﬁndings, researchers formulated eight recommendations that have since been adopted by NSW Health to roll out in practice in the coming year. Shaping global health

Highlights 2010-11 Making tracking health easy for general practitioners For busy doctors, a tool that consolidates key research evidence and provides tailored advice for patients could be a valuable resource that would help to improve primary healthcare. HealthTracker is an online program devised by researchers at The George Institute that allows GPs to better manage the cardiovascular risk of patients. By entering key information about patients, such as their weight and medical history, the treating doctor can derive a clear treatment plan for each individual patient. HealthTracker has been refined over the last year and will now be implemented clinically in New South Wales in collaboration with NSW Health. Innovation in back care Over the past decade, our musculoskeletal researchers have conducted extensive high-quality research to better understand back pain. They have identified what treatments work and what treatments are prescribed by practitioners, but surprisingly they found a large disparity between the two. Working in partnership with Australia’s National Prescribing Service, researchers are applying their library of evidence of back pain treatment to the online resource, HealthTracker, to enable GPs to easily treat patients according to the best practice guideline. GPs will simply enter individual patient data that will provide specific back pain treatment guidelines in return.

George Centre for Healthcare Innovation There is an enormous gap in the funding of affordable, practical technologies for the health problems affecting low-income countries. The George Centre for Healthcare Innovation at the University of Oxford, UK plans to work with a wide range of disciplines in order to foster technologies that will provide sustainable global health solutions. The Centre is developing a program focused on new and different pathways for drug and device innovation, but these must be simple and cost-effective tools for resource poor settings. New innovations such as mobile health technologies and remote devices for measuring hypertension need a place to grow and develop. The Centre plans to host such an incubator for ideas and testing via an ideas conference and student fellowship program at the University of Oxford’s Business, Social Sciences and Engineering Faculties. It is envisaged that this will provide a platform to take Smartphone health for India ideas further and support investment-ready ideas We know that the leading causes of death and disability in rural India are for chronic disease, while also looking to innovative chronic diseases. This and other ﬁndings in the library of evidence from ﬁnancing solutions. the Andhra Pradesh Rural Health Initiative have allowed researchers to develop tools to improve rural health in India. The George Institute, India is developing a unique smart phone intervention for doctors and healthcare workers in the Andhra Pradesh region to identify people at risk of heart 17 attack and stroke. Smartphones with Android platforms are increasingly affordable and prevalent in rural India, and can allow health workers to receive direct support for each individual patient while also communicating with each other. This initiative is in early planning stages and linking with the George Centre for Healthcare Innovation at the University of Oxford. Shaping global health

Highlights 2010-11 Million teenagers to shape India’s future The overall death rates among teenagers in India are among the highest in the world, and little research has been done to ﬁnd out why this is and how to provide appropriate healthcare for adolescents. The George Institute, India has developed plans for the Million Teenagers Study – an ambitious study of one million adolescents to better understand the causes of death, illness and disability. The Institute has intensively collaborated with key partners over the last year and in September 2010 hosted a workshop with the Centre for Chronic Disease Control in New Delhi to help build the network that will support such a large-scale study. Researchers will focus on raising funds for a vanguard phase in the coming year, which will include 10,000 adolescents from six urban, semi-urban and rural regions of India, followed for an average period of two years. This phase will provide an opportunity to understand major logistic issues that will be faced in the conduct of the main cohort study and to plan strategies to overcome such obstacles.

!e ﬁrst research on India’s urban health Migration to urban centres is leading to rapid population growth in Indian cities, and many poor urban-dwellers have inadequate access to health services. The George Institute, India has begun work to establish a Centre for Urban Health, following a workshop with the Indian Institute of Public Health in February 2010. Such a Centre will gather evidence needed to build the right skills, services and policies to improve urban health. The Centre will uniquely combine like-minded experts from health, urban planning, environmental science and other relevant disciplines to ensure a cohesive approach to a sustainable solution.

Taking action to close the gap Initiated a partnership with Royal Prince Alfred and Maari Ma Health Aboriginal Corporation to develop an Outback Vascular Health Service. With services in remote towns including Broken Hill, Menindee, Wilcannia and Ivanhoe, the partnership aims to provide an integrated approach to complex chronic disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We have established regular visits by a range of specialists for heart, kidney and diabetic Shaping Aboriginal and Torres Strait conditions – all of which are leading ailments in Islander healthcare Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. To better inform healthcare policies, we provided expert recommendations We are connecting with general practitioners, to the Australian Federal and State Governments looking at how to provide Aboriginal health workers and nurses through kidney health services to meet the health, social and cultural needs of educational talks and building the capacity of the Aboriginal people across the central Australian region. Covering roughly local health services to manage these complex chronic one million square kilometres, the region is sparsely populated and includes diseases. We are continually discussing the work, many of the most remote and disadvantaged communities in Australia. how we do it and evaluating the beneﬁts. Recommendations included planning for sustainable expansion in service delivery by establishing a renal ‘hub’ in a central location for the entire region, with suggested models of care to enhance access to treatment in 20 remote communities where patients live. Following the recommendations, the Australian Federal Government contributed $13 million towards housing for patients with chronic kidney disease in remote areas. This report will help address the large number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians with advanced kidney disease living in remote areas. Shaping global health

22 Shaping global health

When we truly understand the burden of injury in a country or city, we can plan for safer roads and reduce the risk of death and disability. With a population of 85.8 million people, and where injuries claim around 35,000 lives each year, Vietnam faces a large ﬁnancial burden to treat, hospitalise and rehabilitate injured patients. Researchers have investigated the cost of injury in Vietnam and the results of this study are due in the coming year. In Australia, researchers are preparing a review of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander road safety for the Australian National Road Safety Council to identify gaps and provide an action plan to reduce the rate of road trafﬁc injury among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Falls, fractures and back pain place a huge reliance on health services, and the Institute is focused on providing new evidence that will inform prevention plans and treatment options. Researchers plan to assess back pain in older people, as many previous back pain studies have not focused on elderly populations. Researchers will work with musculoskeletal colleagues in Brazil, Norway, Netherlands, United States and Australia. In addition, little information exists on the management of hip fracture in China. Researchers will try to establish the causes of hip fractures and how to manage the condition in an ageing population.

George Clinical in 2010-11 George Clinical was pivotal in the completion of the world’s George Clinical largest study into kidney disease, where cholesterol lowering was found to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with chronic kidney disease. Working in partnership with Renal & Metabolic Division and the Oxford Clinical Trial Service Unit, George Clinical provided project management and investigator site liaison for the Asia-Pacific Region, ensuring that the trial was conducted to the highest standard. George Clinical provided key evidence from the result of this academically-led trial that will help improve health for the millions of people living with kidney disease. This trial demonstrates a coming together of industry, which funded the project, and academia, who designed the landmark trial. Rolling out a robust quality framework in this financial year has ensured that George Clinical continues to build its reputation as a world class provider of clinical trials management. Such a framework involved hiring experts in the field of quality compliance who guarantee that trials are delivered to the highest possible standard. Over the last year, the team established key processes to ensure that staff is adequately trained and skilled. Performance is monitored and improvements are continually assessed. The positive results from the quality framework have been seen in the outcomes of regulatory inspections and customer audits. In addition, these skills have been seen to benefit the entire Institute, as George Clinical skills are shared and implemented organisation-wide. Future plans for George Clinical George Clinical will continue to build a platform for sustainable growth in the coming year. A focus will be to invest in infrastructure systems to streamline the delivery of studies and management of contracts. George Clinical is looking for efficiencies in processes and have commenced implementing a web-based clinical trials management system to provide efficiencies and client visibility, a project finance system and a learning management system to support the quality management program for staff skills. In gaining a firm foothold as the leading academic research organisation in the Asia-Pacific Region, plans to grow operations across the region are underway. This will include establishing services in Korea and Taiwan to supplement existing activities in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, and will go hand-in-hand with the partnerships already built across the globe.

An historical staff snapshot STAFF GROWTH SINCE 2005 We’ve grown! Things have changed since 1999, when five staff laid the foundations for The George Institute 300 at the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Medicine. We experienced rapid growth in staff numbers in 250 Australia and again with our expansion into China 200 and India in mid 2008. This growth proved challenging given our need for highly educated, knowledgeable, 150 and specialised staff. Our high-profile work and quality 100 outcomes helped attract staff who have contributed to our many successes. Since then, our staff numbers have 50 remained stable as part of a strategy to consolidate resources and contain growth and expenditure. 0 Jul-Dec Jan-Dec Jan-Dec Jan-Dec Jan-Dec Jan-Dec Jan-Jul Our workforce 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 A full time equivalent of 262.3 staff work at The George Institute.

Currently our spread of remain very low and voluntary turnover is significantly staff across the world is: better than benchmarks. The average age and length of service at The George is also healthy. In Australia, the Institute benefits from an experienced and knowledgeable team who are an average age of 40.5 and usually stay working at the Institute for 3.5 years. As our teams and programs in China and India develop so too does the length of service, which has risen to two years. The majority of our staff in these offices are in their early 30s. The Institute is committed to the learning and development of staff, and total expenditure in this area during the year was $183,457. This has been reducing mainly due to George Clinical (98.5 FTE staff) developing a more structured and controlled approach to learning and development, which resulted in postponement of much activity in this area. A learning and development expenditure ‘freeze’ in April 2011 also contributed to the decline as Australia planned in an effort to reduce Institute expenditure. 66% The average expenditure per employee (FTE) of $741 remains below the $1,557 benchmark.
