About RETP
The Research Education and Training Program (RETP) is an enabling platform of the Western Australia Health Translation Network (WAHTN). The RETP is funded by WA Department of Health and has a remit to develop and deliver online research skills training topics.
Research in the Health sector is an essential component for the continual improvement of clinical practice and directly contributes to the health and wellbeing of patients as well as impacting on efficiencies in health delivery. Ensuring that staff receive the correct level of training and education is key to clinical research being conducted at a high standard.
Purpose
The RETP aims to provide busy health practitioners with open access to comprehensive research skills training across the entire research process. The benefits of a well-trained health research work force include a higher standard of meaningful research projects, a greater likelihood of successful completion and most importantly, better health outcomes for study participants and the broader WA community.
