The available funding for the 2024 Nursing and Allied Health Grants has been increased to $75,000, to be awarded across several research projects.
The RPH Research Foundation will continue the Doreen McCarthy Nursing Research Award each year to showcase the outstanding nursing and midwifery research projects happening within the East Metropolitan Health Service.
