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.

Things No One Tells You About Being in Hospital
For twenty-three years I’ve been an inpatient in hospital roughly a billion times- (okay, probably a million) but for the sake of my credibility in writing this let’s go with a billion. I’ve definitely determined a favourite vein for blood tests, I’ve memorised the exact tea/coffee/meal schedules, and semi shamefully/semi proudly I admit I’ve mastered the balancing act of rolling my orange-juice-topped IV machine back to bed after visiting the patient kitchenette snack drawer. There is a plethora of things you’ll learn about, yet no one tells you about being in hospital.
