Research

 

Barwon Health is committed to developing a vibrant culture

of education, training and research for all staff fostering

clinical excellence, effective leadership and a solid foundation

of continuous learning, quest for knowledge and scientific

research underpinned by the role of Barwon Health as a

teaching hospital.

 

Barwon Health has worked hard to encourage and showcase

the excellent work produced by our researchers. Good

research practice requires considerable thought and attention. The release of the revised NHMRC National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research in March 2007 requires that research practices be organisationally sound as well as ethically rigorous. In turn, this means a system of research review that is efficient, transparent and predictable.

 

Our chief asset is the commitment of Research Committee members, whose wisdom and generous giving of their time allows these Committees to exist. Barwon Health thanks these members, and in particular the Chairs - John Frame, Research and Ethics Advisory Committee and Dr Tom Callaly, Research Review Committee.
