The SERT Institute has been instrumental in the expansion of Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) across NSLHD. REDCap is a secure web-based application for building and managing online surveys and databases. REDCap is recommended for use for data capture and management by the Human Research Ethics Committee, as all data captured within REDCap, including research data, is protected by our robust ICT practices. The appointment of a full-time REDcap administrator in 2019 has led to an increase in the number of REDcap projects and user accounts by 137 per cent and 149% per cent respectively. The SERT Institute continues to grow with a strong commitment to clinical and translational research, the teaching of today’s and tomorrow’s surgeons and improvements in patient care.
the inaugural Surgical Research Activity Report, a collation of research conducted and published across the RNSH departments of surgery from January 2018- June 2020. This report highlights the large volume of research activity and peer-reviewed publications conducted during this period, with almost 350 manuscripts published, equating to an average of 138 publications annually. The volume of research undertaken by our surgeons underscores the extent to which research is embedded in our clinical work.
