With a growing appetite across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand for collaboration, data sharing, and academic inquiry, this session aims to connect clinicians and services already involved in research with those looking to contribute or get started.
Hear from Dr Steph Valent (Aotearoa New Zealand), Dr Clinton Gibbs (Queensland), and Dr Neel Bhanderi (South Australia) – as they provide a snapshot of current research activities across their regions and share ideas for the future.
Whether you're already part of a well-resourced service involved in collaborative studies or a clinician with a great idea and nowhere to start, this webinar is ideal for you. We'll also discuss the vision of a national PHRM research network, the potential for a PHRM registry, and explore how even small projects can drive meaningful change in clinical care.
This is a key opportunity to engage with the growing research community in PHRM and contribute to shaping a collaborative, multi-agency approach to answering the most important questions in our field.
