This is a unique opportunity for local researchers in the HSE North West area to present their recently undertaken health research projects to a wide audience. The event provides a showcase for research carried out at SUH and in collaboration with our partner institutions. The REF continues to build on past successes in providing support for education, training and research to people engaged in healthcare provision in the SUH catchment area.
