Come and meet the doctors and healthcare professionals driving our new approach to healthcare at MQ Health Day on Monday 12 September.

MQ Health Day is a key event taking place during Wellbeing Week, 8 to 16 September.

The day will kick off with an official launch hosted by Vice-Chancellor Professor S Bruce Dowton, followed by a talk on Wellbeing by Professor Simon Willcock, Clinical Director of MQ Health Primary Care. There will also be booths for you to visit and speak with a range of healthcare experts, on everything from cardiovascular health to urology. Organised tours are on offer in the afternoon for those wanting to visit some of the clinical facilities at MQ Health, including Australia’s first Gamma Knife.

Professor Patrick McNeil, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, says MQ Health Day is a chance for staff to learn more about the world-class health services that are available on our own campus.

“With the introduction of our new name MQ Health, now is a great time to ensure the Macquarie community understands what we do, the health services we offer and how we are bringing our purpose – Heal. Learn. Discover – to life.”

MQ Health is the new name for Macquarie University Health Sciences Centre, bringing together Macquarie University Hospital, Macquarie University Clinical Associates, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the clinical components of the Faculty of Human Sciences.
