Our children’s research team recently held an exceptional event, ‘Making Research an Everyday Event Across the Children’s Hospital’. This initiative marks a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing children’s healthcare through research and innovation.
With generous funding from CHORAL, we had over 70 attendees participating both in person and online. This diverse group included healthcare professionals, researchers, and community members, all united by a shared interest in improving paediatric care.
The event featured insightful talks and discussions on various topics, including how to get involved in research, the process of conducting research, examples of our past and ongoing research in children’s healthcare, and leveraging data and resources to maximise research effectiveness. Each session was designed to be informative and engaging, encouraging active participation and collaboration.
Highlights of the day were presentations on our latest research projects, showcasing best approaches and panel discussions on clinicians in research and challenges we can face. Interactive workshops provided practical insights and hands-on experience, with VR technology.
We received fantastic feedback for the event, with many attendees appreciating the opportunity to learn and network. The positive response underscored the value of such gatherings in fostering a collaborative research community.
We are incredibly proud of the success of the day and firmly hope this will become an annual event, providing a regular platform for sharing knowledge and inspiring new research initiatives.
Our heartfelt thanks to CHORAL for their generous support and to all who attended and contributed to making this event a success.
