With Australia's population ageing and becoming increasingly obese, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes are predicted to be a massive burden on our already stretched health system. Preventing the onset of disease is clearly the best management strategy, but we also need effective treatment strategies for those with these diseases, and we need to ensure that we are spending our healthcare dollars in the most effective and cost-effective manner to achieve these aims. This research will evaluate how best to do this in a specifically Australian context.Read moreRead less
