2018 Research Week Awards Dinner
Last night we celebrated the 2018 Research Week Awards Dinner where 11 grant and four poster award recipients were announced. These grants will enable all of the recipients to put their research into action and steer the future of their chosen topics.
“Without research we would have no insights into preventing disease, no new treatments, no ways to ensure what we are doing works, no way to understand the needs of our patients and no way to know if we’re making a difference.”
Tonight we celebrate the 2018 #ResearchWeek Awards Dinner.
