Research on show at RBWH Healthcare Symposium awards<\/h1>\n

After three jam-packed days of research, innovation and partnership, the 26th annual RBWH Healthcare Symposium concluded with its awards ceremony on 14 September.<\/p>\n

The awards highlighted some of the best and brightest minds at the Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital (RBWH).<\/p>\n

Symposium Chair Dr Merrilyn Banks said the research coming out of RBWH was so good that one winner per category just wasn\u2019t possible, with two of the categories awarding joint winners.<\/p>\n

\u2018The calibre of research we were judging this year was phenomenal. From bench discoveries to evaluating clinical services delivered by telehealth, it was amazing to see how much is going on across RBWH,\u2019 Dr Banks said.<\/p>\n

\u2018The judging panel had a tough decision in front of them,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was wonderful to see the winners\u2019 reactions on the night. There were a few surprised faces as all of the nominees knew they had some stiff competition.\u2019<\/p>\n
