Julia Pilowsky, Dr John Atyeo and Dr Louise Hansell
New opportunities strengthening our culture of research excellence
“We are sure this group will help extend our research capabilities and strengthen the culture of quality research across the local health district and the university.” Funding for the roles has been provided by the University of Sydney and the NSLHD.
Professor Robyn Ward, University of Sydney Executive Dean, Medicine and Health, said we are pleased to welcome John, Louise and Julia to their new clinical research fellow roles and look forward to watching them develop their research and leadership skills, and collaborative research opportunities. “We expect the increased engagement in research and strong partnerships will help drive progress, while improving the delivery of healthcare to the wider community,” she said. Interim NSLHD Chief Executive Lee Gregory said the fellows will continue their clinical roles within the district, and will now also have time to pursue their individual and collaborative research interests. “We are pleased to be able to provide funding for the dedicated research time as we know that having specific blocks of time for investigative projects has historically been one of the barriers to the expansion of research activity and impact,” he said.
In an exciting announcement, three clinical research fellows have been appointed within the Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD). The positions are part of an initiative developed by the University of Sydney’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Northern Sydney (Arabanoo) Precinct and the NSLHD. The new roles will drive interdisciplinary research activity, develop research capabilities and increase opportunities for research training of staff. The successful applicants include Senior Research Radiation Therapist Dr John Atyeo , Senior Physiotherapist Dr Louise Hansell and Clinical Nurse Specialist Julia Pilowsky . Over the next two years, the fellows will pursue their individual research projects, while also collaborating on an interdisciplinary research initiative focusing on functional wellbeing.
