Western Australian Group for Evidence Informed Healthcare Practice: A JBI Centre of Excellence

The Western Australian Group for Evidence Informed Healthcare Practice (WAGEIHP) was established in 1997 and is a JBI Centre of Excellence. Located in the Curtin School of Nursing, we undertake a range of practice oriented research activities to improve clinical practice and healthcare outcomes in line with the JBI Model for Evidence Based Health Care. 

About us

Our core business is synthesising evidence for use by clinicians and/or consumers. Evidence formats include systematic reviews and evidence summaries with subsequent recommendations for practice.

Topics for the systematic reviews and evidence summaries are guided by clinicians to ensure relevance to practice and enhance the implementation of the evidence into clinical practice (knowledge translation).

Our aims

In collaboration with clinicians, researchers and students, we aim to:

• conduct systematic reviews and develop evidence summaries
• participate in the dissemination and implementation of best practice and evaluate the impact on clinical practice
• contribute to cost effective health care through the promotion of evidence informed practice.

Partnerships

We are one of over 85 Collaborating Entities across 40+ countries throughout the world. WAGEIHP also partners with Royal Perth Hospital, Perth Children’s Hospital and Wounds Australia.
