Member Testimonial

"I have been a member of VicREN from its inception. I have actively engaged with the network and so I find it a vibrant connection of people able to engage in and drive priorities in primary health care research.  I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to discuss ideas with my GP colleagues and to see these ideas evolve into meaningful, practical knowledge and research, brought to life by the expertise of our academic colleagues at the Department. I highly recommend VicREN to all my curious GP colleagues as we continue to navigate the fast-moving world of primary health care."
