Research
With the funding from our generous donors, Wesley Research Institute selected a total of 11 research projects for funding in 2021. These projects were reviewed by the Wesley Research Institute Research Ethics Committee to ensure the high standard of research is met. These projects cover a breadth of areas including neurology, cancer, orthopedics, mental health, rare disease and coeliac disease. Thanks to our incredible donors we were able to fund almost $1 million worth of research projects in 2021/22as Wesley Research Institute continues to be the official research partner across the four UnitingCare Hospitals.
