About the Symposium

The annual St George and Sutherland Hospital Medical Research Symposium has been held for over 30 years. This one-day event is the largest educational and networking programme for SESLHD  clinicians and researchers in the local health district, showcasing current research being done at both St George and Sutherland Hospitals by clinicians, scientists and students.

The Symposium is an opportunity for junior and senior medical clinicians as well as nursing, scientists, and allied health staff to attend lectures from keynote speakers invited from across the country on areas of interest. Throughout the day research posters are displayed across a wide range of health disciplines and there is an opportunity to vote on the best posters and presentations.
