Clinical trials

A clinical trial is a way to access new treatments, medicines, interventions and medical devices. These trial options have already shown better results; they are just not available to everyone yet. It’s a way to give our patients early access to new treatments.

Bendigo Health has been providing clinical trials to our community for over two decades. Recently, we’ve focused on growing our clinical trials and teletrials capability and workforce across all speciality areas.

Our research specialist areas include allied health, cardiovascular, emergency, endocrinology, general surgery, haematology, infectious diseases, intensive care, mental health, oncology, orthopaedics, renal, respiratory, and women’s and children’s services. We will continue to build on our current clinical trial strengths in these areas, and will focus on increasing our clinical trials capacity across other specialty areas. 

The Bendigo Health Research Plan 2022-2025 is designed to leverage our existing expertise in applied research and defines what research we undertake and why. The Research Plan also provides the pathway to further develop a positive research culture.

Our facilities include:

  • Fully accredited local medical imaging services; CT, MRI, PET, X-RAY, DXA, Ultrasound, Interventional Radiology, Fluoroscopy
  • Fully accredited clinical trial pharmacy and pharmacists
  • Fully accredited local pathology service
  • Clinical trial special equipment such as -80 degree freezer, centrifuge, laboratory processing area, phlebotomy service
