R&I Achievements

Our annual research conference was held this year May 2022, for the first time after being unable to host for a couple of years due to COVID-19. The conference was held in a hybrid format, with staff being able to attend both in person and virtually. We listened to talks from staff members in the hospital, including doctors running COVID-19 studies, and the previous poster competition winners. We were fortunate enough to have received 48 poster submissions, these presented research that has been conducted in different departments in the hospital.
