Research

At South West Healthcare, we aspire to be a centre for excellence for research, evidence based healthcare and innovation.

Our research activity is constantly growing and evolving at SWH, with a clear focus on delivering the highest quality of patient care to our community and improving and extending the treatment options we can provide.

Along with our established Clinical Trial program, staff at South West Health are also undertaking research in a wide range of areas, including:

  • Staff wellbeing
  • Maternal health
  • Recovery after pregnancy
  • Providing a voice and improving the healthcare journey for people with a hidden disability
  • Improving healthcare in inpatient mental healthcare settings
  • Rural emergency department presentations in a changing climate

Guided by the SWH 2020-2024 Strategic Plan South West Healthcare is building a culture that supports high quality learning and research environment that is responsive to the needs of the South West Victorian communities.

We aim to address the health concerns and needs of our community with our research. We seek to create a connected environment where our people can achieve their potential, collaborate and innovate.
