Wesley Research Institute (WRI) aims to make an immediate and lasting difference to health care practices through medical research.
WRI takes a collaborative approach to research, bringing together doctors, nurses and allied health professionals at The Wesley Hospital, with scientists, sponsor companies, patients and the community, to work towards a common goal – turning scientific findings into better healthcare outcomes.
WRI’s investigative research activities are divided into two categories: investigator-initiated research and patient outcome research. This research aims to discover new techniques for better diagnosis and treatment of illness and disease.
WRI Clinical Trials enables clinicians and specialists to conduct clinical trials for national and international sponsor companies, including on-site Ethics Committee and recruitment for trial participants.
The Ventyx Wesley Research Institute Tissue Bank is a state-of-the-art bio-repository of human tissue and blood and is the largest of its kind in Queensland. It collects and stores tissue samples, blood and related clinical data from consenting patients at The Wesley Hospital. This is then made available to ethically approved medical researchers worldwide.
