Southern Health Research Strategic Plan 2010 - 2013
The Southern Health Research Strategic Plan 2010-2013 builds upon the work of Emeritus Professor David Penington’s Research Strategy authored at Southern Health in 2006. It conforms to the framework of the overall Southern Health Strategic Plan 2010-2013. Southern Health has made significant progress in every goal over the last three years and it is a credit to the energy, commitment and innovation of staff and volunteers that we have achieved so much in the challenging environment of finite resources and increasing demand and costs that every public health service faces. In fact, Southern Health has excelled in many areas. This is evidenced by our success in the Victorian Public Healthcare Awards in 2007, 2008 and 2009. It is also demonstrated by the numerous awards and national and international recognition earned by staff and the research funding, partnerships and progress in advancing our knowledge and clinical care achieved through our expanding research program.
It was in this context that Southern Health consulted with staff and our partners to define a new three-year plan to continue to expand and enhance our focus upon research in every area of our service. This plan will also assist Southern Health in achieving its stated vision and purpose, and new focus on person centred care.
We look forward to continuing to work with our staff and partners to deliver upon the Southern Health Research Strategic Plan 2010-2013.
