New strategy promotes research for all Research is not the responsibility of a select few; it is a shared endeavour and an opportunity for everyone. The Northern Sydney Local Health District’s (NSLHD’s) new research strategy outlines an ambitious vision to embed a culture of research at the heart of our organisation, making it an integral part of everyday practice across our workforce.
Our new strategy has been shaped over 12 months through extensive engagement with more than 300 stakeholders from across NSLHD and beyond. Their collective insights have informed an approach that is practical, inclusive, and forward looking, capturing the shared aspirations of our workforce and partners.
At the core is an inclusive approach, making sure our research is designed to address the needs of underserved and priority populations. To do this, we encourage co-designed research, equity of access to participation in research, and better use of technology and data systems. A generous $20 million gift from Greg and Kay Van Norton Poche has enabled us to move faster in building our research capability. It is supporting the establishment of a world class cancer clinical trials centre and will strengthen research across all clinical areas. In recognition of this momentum and vision, our directorate will be known as North Sydney Trials and Research (NORTH STAR), a name that reflects leadership, innovation, and excellence in clinical research.
Above all, this strategy is a call to action to think differently, work collaboratively, and make research part of how we deliver care every day. Together, we can transform health services and improve outcomes for all.
