Introduction Located across three University of Adelaide teaching hospitals, the Northern Network Colorectal Surgical Service is unique in Australia. In 2000, the surgeons working within the Colorectal Units at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, Lyell McEwin Hospital and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital formed a collaborative partnership - the Northern Network Colorectal Surgical Service. This unique partnership has successfully facilitated the production of high quality, internationally published research and a multidisciplinary approach to ongoing clinical education and development. The core membership is comprised of surgical and research personnel affiliated with SA Health and The University of Adelaide. However, an inclusive approach to research and training provides opportunities for medical students and trainees, specialist nursing staff, and research students to be involved in the activities of the Northern Network Colorectal Surgical Service. Meeting on a regular basis provides a forum for the discussion of topical and current clinical concepts and issues, and the development and review of research activities. Members have been involved in both clinical and laboratory-based research and have been based at the Basil Hetzel Institute for Medical Research, the Hanson Institute, the Colorectal Surgical Units, and the University of Adelaide Discipline of Surgery. 2012 Membership University of Adelaide staff Nick Rieger, FRACS, MS, Associate Professor David Rodda, FRACS, Senior Lecturer Jacqueline Stephens, MPH, Clinical Research Officer University of Adelaide affiliated staff Peter Hewett, FRACS, Clinical Professor Alex Karatassas, FRACS, Clinical Lecturer Andrew Luck, FRACS, MS, Clinical Senior Lecturer James Moore, FRACS, MS, Clinical Senior Lecturer Michelle Thomas, FRACS, PhD, Clinical Senior Lecturer SA Health members Andrew Hunter, FRACS Matthew Lawrence, FRACS Elizabeth Murphy, FRACS, PhD Matt Ryan, FRACS Darren Tonkin, FRACS Page 1 of 16
