Research Symposium

Notice of cancellation:  With regret, the University of Auckland and Waitematā DHB have now cancelled the 2020 Research Symposium. This event was initially postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic response, however feedback from researchers indicates that many clinicians and academics are now busier than ever, catching up on rescheduled clinics, surgeries, teaching and assessments. Programme and poster gallery from 2019 available on the Symposium page.
