PRIORITY AREA 3
ENABLE – Strengthen the enablers of our research Enable our clinical trials and research foundations through streamlined governance, improved digital infrastructure, and workforce support, with a focus on inclusive and equitable access to research opportunities.
Strengthening the foundations that enable clinical trials across NSLHD requires investment in workforce capability, streamlined governance, and improved supporting infrastructure. A key focus is ensuring our clinical trials workforce are skilled and supported to ensure sustainable growth in clinical trials, alongside high quality delivery, and equitable access to opportunities. This commitment is reflected in initiatives such as the Clinical Trials Operations scholarships, delivered through a partnership between NSLHD, the NORTH Foundation and Macquarie University. Twenty NSLHD clinical trials staff were supported to undertake Australia’s first Graduate Certificate in Clinical Trials
Operations, addressing a recognised education gap and building capability across the district. Participants highlighted the value of formal training in areas such as regulation, trial management, and data processes, strengthening both individual expertise and organisational capacity. By supporting multidisciplinary staff - from clinical trial coordinators to allied health investigators - the program enhances end-to-end trial capability. Through targeted workforce investment, strengthened partnerships, and improved systems, NSLHD is well positioned to deliver high quality, inclusive research and clinical trials now and into the future.
