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.
