The Emergency Department is in the early stages of developing a research program that aims to support and grow research capacity within the team. Current areas of interest include:
- Reducing low-value care
- Leveraging technology to enhance patient outcomes
- Paediatric emergency care
- Mental health and alcohol and other drug (AOD) presentations
- Trauma care
- Geriatric emergency care, with a focus on mental health
- Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)
As the program evolves, the department is committed to fostering a culture of inquiry and collaboration, and welcomes opportunities to partner on research projects aligned with these and other priority areas.
