The SERT Institute at Royal North Shore Hospital was established in 2017. The SERT Institute promotes, assists and encourages the engagement of surgeons in academic and surgical quality improvement activities that will result in improvement in patient outcomes and clinical care.
The SERT Institute is a clinician initiative to overcome barriers developed in recent years that
impact on the capacity of surgeons to be involved in academic research, clinical auditing, clinical leadership,
teaching, mentoring, clinical governance roles and processes within the hospital.
