Welcome 2021!

Lets kick start the year with the NPMT Research Evening

Date: Thursday 18 March
Time: 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm
Location: Gosford Hospital and via Skype

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about research projects happening on the Central Coast and how you can get involved. We will be having Associate Professor Amanda Dawson and Professor Nicholas Goodwin speak about the projects they are involved in as well as their personal experiences in research.
There will be other clinician researchers, from residents to registrars and staff specialists who will also be speaking about how to kick start your career as a clinician-researcher! As there is limited capacity in the auditorium due to COVID restrictions, we will be streaming the event via Skype for JMOs and medical students.

Bookings are still essential for COVID registration requirements:
