The Research & Education Foundation hosts our Annual Multidisciplinary Research Conference every year at the end of November, featuring keynote talks by invited speakers and presentations of research conducted in the region.
- The conference is a unique opportunity for local researchers in the SUH catchment 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 Research & Education Foundation continues to build on past successes in providing support for education, training and research to people engaged in healthcare provision in the North West.
