Health professionals and medical researchers came together at The Cube, Campbelltown on 17 and 18 September to learn about and celebrate the research and innovation which is shaping the future of healthcare in South Western Sydney.
SWSPHN Acting CEO Amy Prince (pictured) was among the speakers at the South Western Sydney LHD-hosted Health Beyond Research and Innovation 2025.
Topics explored ranged from ‘endometriosis done differently’ to the ‘development of a sustainable and scalable model to recycle and reduce the cost of polypropylene waste in hospitals’ and ‘a multimodal and multilingual robot for hospital visitors’.
Amy spoke about ‘prevention and postcodes’ – that is, the link between where you live and health outcomes, where certain postcodes are associated with higher rates of preventable diseases and hospitalisations, often due to socioeconomic factors.
Showcase attendees also had the opportunity to network and share their ideas and experiences.
The showcase was hosted in partnership with the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research and supported by partners UNSW Sydney and Western Sydney University.
