Call to action
Associate Professor Naomi Hammond Executive Director, NORTH Sydney Trials and Research Northern Sydney Local Health District
Research is not the responsibility of a few; it is an opportunity for all of us. This NSLHD Research Strategy sets out a bold vision: to embed research into the culture and everyday practice of our entire workforce.
Whether you are a nurse, allied health professional, medical practitioner, or part of our non-clinical teams in health management, leadership or administration, your role in shaping the future of healthcare through research is vital to NSLHD. We are committed to inclusive design, ensuring that our research reflects and responds to the needs of underserved and priority populations. Our approach must be digitally enabled and innovative, leveraging technology and data to accelerate discovery and improve care. Through the Single Digital Patient Record (SDPR), we will build a learning healthcare system—one that continuously adapts and improves based on evidence. Inspired by the generous philanthropic donation of $20 million from Greg Poche and Kay Van Norton that supported the establishment of the NORTH Sydney Trials and Research (STAR) Van Norton Poche Clinical Trials Centre, we are rebranding the NSLHD Research Directorate to be known as NORTH Sydney Trials and Research (NORTH STAR). In this way, the NSLHD Research Directorate will also be known for guidance and stability as we progress forward to driving excellence in research.
This strategy has been developed over the course of a year through extensive consultation with more than 300 stakeholders across NSLHD and beyond. Their insights and contributions have shaped a strategy that is inclusive, practical, and ambitious, reflecting the collective vision of our workforce and partners. This strategy is a call to action: to think differently, to collaborate widely, and to make research part of how we work every day. Together, we can transform care and deliver better health outcomes for all.
