Sydney , Australia 21-23 March This year will see the 8th Annual Australian Healthcare Week celebrated at the International Convention Centre in Sydney . Growth in the healthcare industry in Australia over the last decade means that it now accounts for $ 1 out of every $ 10 spent nationally , and is also the country ’ s biggest employer , employing one in every eight Australians . Organisers say : “ The ageing population means that the demand on healthcare services will only increase , and faced with a limited budget , the focus must naturally shift to how we can do more with less . Central to achieving this will be the improved integration of the clinical and non-clinical realms .” This conference brings both of these areas together under one roof to discuss some of the key issues being faced at the moment such as facilities , data , efficiency , change management , patient experience and integrated care . www . austhealthweek . com . au
