Delivering healthcare in hospitals and clinics requires intense focus on the present. 

But there's another aspect of healthcare that helps doctors learn from the past, and design for the future.

It’s called epidemiology. Epidemiology is a field of science focused on the ‘how many people?’ and ‘why?’ of diseases and health conditions. 

In this episode of Research Pulse we learn more about epidemiology, including why CALHN established the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology, also known as the Adelaide Epicentre, in January 2024.

We speak to Professor Stephen McDonald, Director at the Adelaide Epicentre and Senior Staff Nephrologist at the Central Northern Renal and Transplantation Service based at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

Global data tell a clear story: on average, men die around five years earlier than women. Better management of diseases such as diabetes and depression could help -- but for this to happen, men need to seek health support earlier and more regularly than they currently do.

In our first episode of Season 3, we explore the idea that going 'below the belt' could improve how men communicate with their doctors, leading to earlier disease identification, better management and men enjoying their lives more.

We speak to Dr Sam Tafari about supporting men to stay ahead of the game when it comes to their health.
