3.3 Enhance internal and external collaborations and partnerships. The RNSH Data Network was established by the DASO Unit in early 2024 to bring together individuals and teams working with data across RNSH. These included teams and individuals from the Analytics and Performance Unit, Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Department, Medical Oncology, Bone Marrow Transplant, Radiation Oncology, Medical imaging and Renal departments, including representatives from Health Information Services. The network aims to foster knowledge sharing, problem solving, collaboration, support and advice.

The DASO Unit will host network meetings 3-4 times per year.

3.4 Recognise and promote surgical research achievements and researchers through a variety of multi media channels.

The Surgical Research Activity Reports were actively promoted through several NSLHD media channels including the NSLHD Board and Executive teams, disseminated to all surgeons and presented at clinical meetings. The report highlights the volume of research and quality improvement activity across DoSA by individuals/surgical specialty service in addition to identifying areas for collaboration. The SERT Institute aims to establish an annual surgical research symposium that would showcase the excellent quality and volume of research undertaken across surgery. An invitation will be extended to community stakeholders and potential benefactors interested in supporting research.
