Education

Barwon Health is committed to developing a vibrant culture of education for all staff, fostering clinical excellence, effective leadership and a solid foundation of continuous learning.

As part of this commitment, Barwon Health aims to strengthen partnerships with Deakin and Melbourne Universities to maximise opportunities for joint research, support and grants.

Key areas of focus under the 2007-08 Business Plan include establishing an integrated Education and Training Unit and progressing the Barwon Health Clinical School for medical student training.

The Barwon Health Centre for Education and Practice Development provides education for nurses and other staff across Barwon Health, while undergraduate and post graduate medical education and training is offered through the Barwon Health Medical Education Unit.
