EMHS Research Strategy
EMHS considers research to be central to advancing healthcare and to realising our vision of Healthy people, amazing care – Koorda moort, moorditj kwabadak.
We are proud of our outstanding history of clinical research and innovation which continues today with our passionate researchers providing EMHS patients access to cutting edge clinical trials, advanced cell therapies for rare diseases and custom 3D printed medical implants, as well as new models of care and refined practices by the bedside.
However, there is always more to be done to respond to the changing demographics and healthcare needs of our community and to address inequities in health outcomes.
Research focus areas
In line with the WA Health and Medical Research Strategy 2023-2033, EMHS has defined three research focus areas:
- Community and virtual care
- Mental health
- Improving outcomes from major trauma.
Implementation Plan
The EMHS Research Strategy and Innovation Plan 2024-2028 guides the development of research capacity and capability and strategically driven translatable research outcomes to achieve improved healthcare outcomes for our community.
Ideas and Feedback
Successful implementation of this strategy relies on effective engagement with many stakeholders.
We are keen to hear from EMHS staff, researchers and partners about their experiences of conducting research and your ideas for how we can improve our support.
