Princess Alexandra Hospital Health Symposium
"Department Showcase"
With the exciting academic growth and health care development on the PAH campus, the 2012 Princess Alexandra Hospital Health Symposium will highlight how translational research and partnerships in health disciplines are leading to smarter use of drugs, improved and more cost-effective treatments for cancer; trauma; inflammation; cardiovascular disease and frailty. Educational sessions will cover integrating health service with smart e-applications and digital technologies and experts will lead workshops in statistics and grant writing.
The PAH Health Symposium will be augmented by a multidisciplinary program of oral and poster communications - awarding the best basic, medical, surgical, nursing and allied health research with the prestigious PAH Week Awards and Prizes.
