Sydney Vital is a Cancer Research Centre, based at the Royal North Shore Hospital. We are funded by the Cancer Institute NSW ... and the University of Sydney. Our aim is to take research from the laboratory bench and put this into practice. By doing so, we are able to provide patients access to the latest medical discoveries and improve both their care and outcomes. Our research partners include The University of Sydney, Macquarie University & Medical School, The Kolling Institute, The University of Technology Sydney, Royal North Shore Hospital, Mater Hospital, and North Shore Private Hospital. Sydney Vital brings together over 200 cancer researchers who share Sydney Vital’s goal to ensure that the latest advances in cancer treatments are available to our patients in the shortest time possible. Research activities and results will be communicated to the external audience- GPs and other health professionals; cancer patients and families; local, NSW and Australian public- through a series of outreach initiatives including community and professional education events, traditional media, newsletters, and a yearly open day. Education series will be organised to improve how health professionals communicate with patients via a partnership with the Pam McLean Cancer Communications Centre. read more
