MORAYFIELD, QUEENSLAND – Health Hub Morayfield hosted its inaugural Research Education and Engagement Committee (REEC) Seed Research Grant Awards. Successful recipients demonstrated viable projects which supported the delivery of patient-centred healthcare. These diverse teams, including health practitioners, early-career researchers, and students, will work together with experienced academics from domestic and international universities, to build local knowledge, skills, and capacity in clinical, therapeutic and health services research.
“One of the visions in the development of the Morayfield Health Hub was to promote much needed primary care research in Australia. That vision has come to fruition today with the first of our seed grant rounds. My congratulations to all of the successful research teams.”, Director of Health Hub Doctors Morayfield and grant Sponsor, Dr. Evan Jones.
Dr. Wayne Graham, Chair of the REEC Committee, said “that the expert review panel was impressed with the quality of the applications. He also expressed his gratitude to Dr. Evan Jones for providing seed funding to strengthen collaborative research teams consisting of health practitioners and university researchers. The seed funding will build capacity for the project teams which in turn enables access to state and national competitive grants funding and most importantly will improve health outcomes for the local community”.

Have you thought about skin checks?
Living in Queensland, skin checks are extremely important as the harsh sun can be damaging to your skin. Regular skin checks can increase the chance of early detection in patients with skin cancer, giving them a higher chance of successful treatment. Skin checks are quick, easy and life saving!
As well as skin checks, our skin doctors perform, biopsies, excisions, grafts/flaps and cosmetic removal of moles/lesions.
If you're due a check, or you'd just like peace of mind, book online now!
The FotoFinder is a state-of-the-art solution for early detection of melanoma! The FotoFinder offers an Automated Total Body Mapping system which scans and takes images of the entire skin surface in a painless manner.
The FotoFinder thoroughly examines your body while recording data and images for future analysis, allowing for easy detection of new skin spots or moles.
The FotoFinder is available for appointments with Dr Ahmed Elsedfy and Dr Maureen Hollyoak every Tuesday.

Today, 11th February 2022, Health Hub Doctors Morayfield announced they will be administering Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) to any patient who books an appointment for a PCR test in their dedicated respiratory clinic if they wish.
The campaign was created by Health Hub Doctors Morayfield to assist in relieving the pressure many Queenslanders are facing due to long wait times in drive thru clinics and delayed PCR test results. The goal is to ensure all patients coming in for a test leave with the peace of mind that while their PCR test is being processed, they have a rapid antigen test result.
This campaign will apply to any patient who books a PCR test in Health Hub Doctors Morayfield’s respiratory clinic.
