Research Overview
The Anaesthesia, Perioperative and Pain Medicine program of the Department of Critical Care promotes multi-centre research with the Departments of Anaesthesia at the 20+ hospitals affiliated with the University. We engage in collaborative and translational research with other clinical and biomedicine departments, and with the Clinical Trials Network of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA). Areas of particular interest include measures to improve long term patient recovery after surgery through evidence-based perioperative care and pain medicine.
