Research and Ethics Education Program
The St John of God Health Care Research and Ethics Education Program aims to support the professional development of researchers and research personnel and to foster a culture of research ethics, so as to contribute to clinical excellence and facilitate the St John of God Health Care Strategy: “to be the best performing healthcare provider in Australia by 2025.”
The theme of our 2023-2024 Research and Ethics Education Program is Strengthening our Research Culture and Embracing New Horizons in Research. With the new Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care National Clinical Trials Framework it is important to consolidate our research ethics and governance processes that facilitate clinical trial service provision and ensure research is embedded into clinical practice. We are also encouraged to incorporate new research and research ethics designs and concepts that optimise the research process and maximize the adoption of evidence-based care.

Good Clinical Research Practice TransCelerate Training
The Western Australian Health Translation Network (WAHTN) is a statewide consortium of major hospitals, medical research institutes and five universities, formed to capitalise on existing resources and expertise and the substantial state investment in new state-of-the-art facilities to translate research into better health for Western Australians.
This investment is inclusive of the provision of education and training in research and research ethics.
As a collaborating partner in WAHTN, St John of God Health Care health practitioners of all levels of experience and any clinical background, are able to access on a complimentary basis, the various online courses.
These courses cover a range of relevant and contemporary topics relating to research, and includes a Good Clinical Practice (GCP) TransCelerate credentialed course available through the WAHTN Research Education and Training Program (RETP).
The online GCP TransCelerate training provides participants with the necessary risk management strategies to undertake their research roles safely and ethically in accordance with the ethical principles and applicable regulatory requirements that govern research.
Participants in the training receive a three year TransCelerate credentialed certificate in GCP on completion.
