Celebrating Health Research Excellence Partnerships

Overview

It is our hope and intention to celebrate the ongoing and unique research partnership between the Dunedin School of Medicine and Te Whatu Ora – Southern in a 2022 Award Ceremony to acknowledge the outstanding researchers and research initiatives from both organisations. However, with the emergence of Omicron in our community and the uncertainty of the traffic light settings, a decision to host the awards in 2022 or postpone to 2023 will be made at a later date.
