The Emerging Research Showcase breakfast will include current candidates and recent graduates of the Rural Research Capacity Building Program presenting the findings from their research projects, and some insights into the role of their research experience in their professional development as researchers and clinicians.

The Rural Research Capacity Building Program aims to increase the number of rural and remote health workers with knowledge and skills in evaluation and research methods by supporting candidates from across rural local health districts to undertake a formal research project over a two-year period.

The Showcase program will consist of three presentations including:

  • Tracy Bolton: ‘But that’s their Job’: Exploring the experiences of workplace stress and support for non-clinical staff in front line roles in rural public health services.
  • Louise Harper: Late Miscarriage and stillbirth – why should we care?

We hope you can join us on Thursday morning at 7.15am at the Lismore Workers Club.
