Summary
This research focuses on (i) Designing and conducting large multicentre trials in anaesthesia and surgery, (ii) Confirming new patient-centred outcome measures in surgery, such as patient-rated quality of recovery, returning home after surgery, and disability-free survival; and (iii) Innovative trial designs to improve the efficiency (less burden, lower costs) of trials.
Improving Children's Respiratory Health Through Better Evidence And Knowledge

Funding Amount
$568,892.00
Summary
Prevention and/or early treatment potentially change the child’s life trajectory for lung health as adults. This is particularly important in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, as respiratory illness is very common with long term consequences. In my fellowship, I will undertake appropriate clinical studies (treatment and preventative) that are most likely to improve lung health outcomes, particularly in conditions relevant in Indigenous children.
Optimising Emergency And Trauma Systems Through Evidence Based Pathways

Summary
Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. The burden of disease on the individual, their family and the community is enormous. The goal of this fellowship is to utilise evidence-based research to inform health policy and enhance the care of young people with diabetes. The proposal addresses patterns of disease in Australia, environmental triggers for diabetes, and care of the young person with diabetes through implementation of national evidence based clinical care ....Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood.
