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 approximately three times per year. The SERT Institute has representation in the NSLHD Research Committee. Following presentations on Education and Clinical Trials achievements in July 2024, in the SERT Institute Advisory Committee meeting, medical leads were invited and scheduled to present their portfolio achievements to the newly formed NSLHD Board Research, Innovation and Technology sub-committee in early 2025. A key focus area in 2025 will be to strengthen relationships with external research partners and seek opportunities for collaborations and promotion of surgical research.
3.4 Recognise and promote surgical research achievements and researchers through a variety of multi media channels
The RNSH Research Activity Reports are actively promoted through all NSLHD media channels, presented to the NSLHD Board and Executive teams, and disseminated to all surgeons and presented at clinical meetings. The RNSH Research Activity Report highlight the volume of research and quality improvement activity across DoSA by individuals/surgical specialty service in addition to identifying areas for collaboration. A goal of the SERT Institute is to establish an annual surgical research symposium that could showcase the excellent quality and volume of research undertaken across surgery. Invitations will be extended to community stakeholders and potential benefactors interested in supporting research.
Due to the challenge of securing funding, hosting a research symposium has been reprioritised to a low priority goal.
