The department continues to have an active research interest in many areas, including pain, echocardiography and general anaesthesia.

The department has monthly research meetings and a full time research nurse, the details (including agenda etc) are on the research website (see log-on)

Broadly, research areas cover;

1. Department developed studies. These are in-house initiated and run.
2. NHMRC multicentre studies. Recent examples include ENIGMA, B-aware, and POISE
3. Pharmaceutical industry sponsored clinical trials. These are typically phase 2 or 3 trials in the areas of pain and anaesthesia.
