We encourage a culture of medical and scientific research across our hospitals and health services.

Research into the causes, treatment and prevention of disease is fundamental to providing an exceptional standard of healthcare.

Our research aims to bridge the gap between laboratory and clinical practice, ultimately leading to more effective prevention programmes, treatments and cures to improve the health of West Australians.

EMHS collaborates with universities, external research institute partners and industry to maximise the clinical-laboratory interface which is essential for the effective translation of research findings into practice and delivering promising clinical advances into routine practice.

EMHS is committed to:

• Contributing to research that leads to the development of new treatments and therapies for our patients
• Conducting both industry-driven and Investigator-initiated clinical trials of cutting edge pharmaceuticals and medical devices
• Developing new and improved diagnostic tools and treatment pathways
• Enhancing knowledge about the prevention of diseases affecting our communities.
