St. Joseph's Care Group

Research

What we do

Research is a dynamic process that forms the backbone of evidence-based clinical practice. It offers a venue for people to ask questions and develop solutions. At St. Joseph's Care Group (SJCG) the strength of the research program is rooted in the skills and expertise of the members of the Research Department. We work with clinicians and staff within SJCG as well as external healthcare and academic partners whose work is linked to the strategic directions of SJCG. See our Vision and Objectives to find out about our areas of focus and direction. We recognize that research or knowledge generation needs to be partnered with mobilization to ensure that relevant findings are put into practice. Check out the Publications link to see what we're up to. All members of the Research Department are strongly committed to sharing our work with as broad an audience as possible.
