“What is most exciting is the collaborative approach across the local health district, with multiple departments and disciplines working tirelessly together with a shared objective – to identify the best approach for patients with COVID-19.
We are conducting clinical trials in mild to moderate patients being manages in the community, moderate to severe patients in wards and severe patients in ICU. Our data collection will help us understand the impacts of COVID-19 on south west Sydney as a community and specific impacts on various groups of high-risk patients.
In addition to the COVID-19 clinical trials, we have over 500 clinical trials across south west Sydney in areas such as cancer, neurology, cardiology, immunology, rheumatology and intensive care. Some of our team were redeployed to essential services during the crisis, yet we have ensured our clinical trials were rigorously maintained to protect and propel this essential work.”
