Dr Andrea Grindrod
As the Director of La Trobe University’s Public Health Palliative Care Program, Andrea combines research and practice, by using a systems and asset-based approach to build capacity that produces sustainable changes in diverse settings. Her evidence-based and research-informed practice frameworks link this new capacity with health and palliative care service systems. Andrea’s research explores the use of evidence-informed public health strategies to understand how population-based public health palliative care practice might be enhanced and implemented in varied settings with diverse populations
Andrea is the developer of the Healthy End of Life Program (HELP), a digital health promotion practice and evaluation framework featured in the World Health Organizations Global Atlas of Palliative Care in 2020, and used across a variety of settings throughout Australia and internationally. She has over 20 years’ experience in the public health field, and is council member of Public Health Palliative Care International.
