Metro North has a thriving research culture, with staff engaged in research at all levels, from those taking their first research steps to those with international reputation as expert in their field. For every new research breakthrough, there is often years and sometimes decades of work to find solutions to a complex problem that has come before. While the pursuit of knowledge may be its own reward, the true value of research is in better patient outcomes.
Our Strategy
The Metro North Research Strategy represents our health services’ continued investment in research and recognises the vital role that our researchers and those who support research play in advancing healthcare and improving health outcomes for patients and the community.
Research Snapshot
Last year was an exciting year for research at Metro North Health. The 2023 Research Snapshot Report highlights some of the many hundreds of research
projects undertaken across Metro North’s facilities throughout the year.
Research Publications
For many it is the excitement of discovery, the ability to help people even outside one’s own clinic or health service through publication, dissemination and
implementation, or the ability for research questions to reframe and address seemingly intractable clinical problems.
Celebrating Excellence
We strive to recognise, acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of Metro North researchers and facilitate innovative knowledge translation communication strategies that share research excellence with the wider health and medical research community.
