Professor Dan Chambers, Executive Director Research

The Metro North Research Excellence Awards are our annual opportunity to celebrate the achievements of researchers across our health service.

Nominations for this year’s awards have been extended until 9am Thursday 31 August 2023.

Thank you to all those who have already submitted a nomination.

Due to a recent security upgrade, some people have had difficulty accessing the nomination portal on Queensland Health computers. I want to assure you the software we use for the nominations, Judgify, has been approved by eHealth cyber security and we have successfully used it for several years. However, for the moment the Qld Health network is preventing some people from submitting your nominations.

We have developed a workaround for those people who have been unable to submit using the Judgify portal. You can submit using this online form and your nomination will be imported into the system for you by the Communications team.

Those people who have already submitted nominations, don’t panic! Your nomination has been received and you don’t need to do it again.

If you continue to have issues, please contact MetroNorth-Communications@health.qld.gov.au.

Thanks for recognising the outstanding efforts of Metro North research and researchers.

I look forward to celebrating with you at the awards event in November.

Regards,

Dan.
