We are delighted to announce the presenters for poster pitch sessions at CALHN’s inaugural Research Exchange, taking place from 14 to 18 October 2024. Book your poster session tickets here.
CALHN Research Exchange dives into the world-class research taking place within our network. It brings our workforce and stakeholders together to exchange ideas, connect and collaborate, with the vision to enhance patient care and health outcomes.
Posters are an easy way for our researchers to share a snapshot of their latest findings with colleagues, and present opportunities for collaboration and networking to improve our delivery of healthcare.
“It’s really important CALHN supports development of the next generation of clinician researchers,” says Associate Professor Liz Sutton, Director of Research at CALHN.
“We operate hospitals that are closely connected with universities, and are part of an ecosystem of healthcare service provision and research that spans many sites.”
The full program for the 2024 CALHN Research Exchange, including the TQEH Research Expo, is available on our research events page.
