I am thrilled to announce our 2024 Health Beyond Research and Innovation Showcase will take place on 25 and 26
September at The William Inglis Hotel,Warwick Farm.

This year’s theme is ‘Harnessing Diversity’, recognising one of south west Sydney’s biggest strengths. Our region is home to an incredibly diverse population including different cultural backgrounds, ages and life stages, socioeconomic status disability,gender and LGBTQIA+.

This year’s Showcase will highlight how the District’s innovative and wide breadth of research addresses our communities needs.

The event will also be a networking opportunity for staff to celebrate the fantastic research and innovation that is shaping the future of health care in the south west.

Guests can meet our leaders in person, share their ideas and experiences and be inspired to lead health care research, innovation and outcomes in the south west and beyond.

I guarantee you will be impressed by the amazing work of south western Sydney’s health and research partners, centred around providing high-quality, personalised care.

The Showcase is hosted in partnership with the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research and supported by our partners UNSW Sydney and Western Sydney University.

Stay tuned for more information, including the detailed event program, esteemed speakers, and registration details.

As our Research and Innovation Showcase draws to a close,
We reflect on the journey, the seeds we chose to sow.
From the heart of equity, we painted a vivid scene,
Highlighting the challenges, the gaps, and the dream.

In the First 2000 days, we laid our foundation,
Investing in futures, nurturing innovation.
Celebrating milestones, like renal transplants’ grace,
Liverpool Hospital stands as a beacon in this place.

Together with communities, hand in hand we stride,
Aboriginal voices and CALD hearts open wide.
Tailoring programs, meeting needs with care,
Pasifika prevention, cultural safety we share.

Diversity in aging, we embraced every hue,
Brilliant aging unfolds, as life’s tapestry grew.
Tech marvels amazed us, from RoboFit’s lift,
To AI bots guiding us, a truly wondrous gift.

Day two danced in culture, with stories profound,
Aboriginal wisdom, in every word and sound.
Research on the young, from preconception’s light,
The Children’s panel spoke, igniting our insight.

Each afternoon brought forth inspiration anew,
Incredible staff showcasing the work they pursue.
Improving care and outcomes, a mission we embrace,
Making South West Sydney a vibrant, thriving space.

So here’s to the connections, the networks we’ve made,
To the voices uplifted, the foundations laid.
As we close this chapter, let’s carry the flame,
With hope in our hearts, let’s continue the aim.
For together we innovate, inspire, and ignite,
In unity we flourish, let’s soar to new heights!
