Introducing the Western Health Surgical Research Group
An innovative research group is giving surgeons, trainees, junior doctors and medical students the chance to collaborate on internationally significant research to improve patient care.
The Western Health Surgical Research Group (WestSuRG) provides doctors in the first crucial years of their careers with an opportunity to gain hands-on research experience.
Since 2020, approximately 30 Western Health medical students and junior doctors from WestSuRG have supported more than five international research projects.
The research collaborative is also leading national trials into the use of compression stockings during surgery and pain medication after operations.
