  • Research Education and Training Program (RETP) for the Western Australian Health Translation Network (WAHTN)

    The Research Education and Training Program (RETProgram) team was set up under the Western Australian Health Translation Network (WAHTN) to develop online research skills training for health professionals within the collaborative network of the WAHTN.

    The RETProgram aims to provide busy health practitioners with open access to comprehensive research skills training across the entire research process. The benefits of a well-trained health research workforce include a higher standard of meaningful research projects, a greater likelihood of successful completion and most importantly, better health outcomes for study participants and the broader WA community. The training is freely available to any staff within the collaborative network of the WA Health Translation Network (WAHTN) and is designed to support busy professionals with flexible training options.

  • New centre to promote world-class WA health research

    • $1.3 million for Clinical Trials and Data Centre
    • Focus on innovation to attract national grants and funding
    • Student prize winners highlight research potential

    A bold new medical initiative is set to attract more clinical trials to Western Australia and build on the State’s international reputation for research excellence.

    Health Minister John Day said the Liberal National Government had committed $1.3 million over three years to establish WA’s first Clinical Trials and Data Centre.

    “Clinical trials are a vital component of a strong, safe and sustainable health system.  They ensure the quality of existing treatment regimes as well as the safety and efficacy of proposed new treatments,” Mr Day said.

    The new centre will be established under the auspices of the Western Australian Health Translation Network, an alliance of the State’s universities, medical research institutes, private and public hospitals and the Western Australian Department of Health.

  • WA Health Student Research and Confidentiality Declaration

    The Department of Health Legal and Legislative Services had developed the WA Health Student and Confidentiality Declaration v1.0 June 2016 (attached), which will soon be available for downloading on the Department of Health research governance forms website. The Declaration affords WA Health the right to review the students thesis prior to publication.

    This form will be required to completed by all non-WA Health students (e.g. students affiliated with WA universities) that are involved in conducting research within WA Health. The declaration should then be  submitted with the governance application to the relevant Research Governance Office.  For students, this declaration  will replace the current requirement to complete the WA Health Declaration of Confidentiality (DoC). The DoC will still need to be completed by non-WA Health employees who are not students.
