Mark Butler MP: I have commissioned advice from my department about implementing our election commitment to a national strategy.

I have spoken to my state and territory counterparts about reducing the climate footprint of the healthcare sector.

I'll be using Question Time today to ask the government to outline the details of its Climate Change, Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

Great advice from our practitioner panel on translating research into policy/practice: (1) ask “How can I make my research more simple?”, & (2) people don’t read anymore - infographics are gold! #Sunbelt2022 INSNA

Cool advice on translating research for policy & practice:
- need skilled knowledge brokers
- simplify your message
- infographics are powerful
- avoid jargon
- focus on problems & solutions, not methods
- make it relevant to their context
