CURRENT PROJECTS

STRIVE-WA is all about connecting and creating opportunities for students. Check out the projects that below -  if any of them interest you, feel free to contact us about getting involved at strivewa@gmail.com!

Audit

Project Overview
This research project is a state-wide clinical audit reviewing the management of patients with intracerebral haemorrhages in WA. Data will be collected across all tertiary hospitals and stored on REDCap. Variables collected will include patient demographic details, clinical characteristics, interventions, and patient outcomes. We will then analyse this data to evaluate the management of intracerebral hemorrhage, highlight areas for improvement, and help identify variables that predict transfer to a neurosurgical centre. This data will be used to develop a state-wide protocol for the management of intracerebral haemorrhages, with the aim of streamlining referral pathways and improving patient care.


Expectations
Student researchers will be expected to collect data from individual case notes and input it into a REDCap database. Data collection will involve reviewing discharge summaries, interpreting radiology scans at a superficial level, and using scoring systems. No prior research experience is required, as we will teach the necessary skills. Student researchers will be expected to collect data on at least 50 patients to be included on the authorship list of the manuscript. We plan to complete the data collection by June of next year, which will require approximately 30 hours of contribution over five to six months. This is an invaluable opportunity for student researchers interested in conducting large-scale research projects with key interests in neurology, neurosurgery, radiology, and patient care. Participating in this project, which we aim to
publish in a reputable journal, will be a valuable addition to your CV. 

 

Applicants 
We are looking for 1-2 students with a keen interest to learn and willingness to commit to this project.
