Chief Investigator and co-chair of the Policy & Practice Translation subcommittee for the CRE in Newborn Medicine, Professor Alicia Spittle, has been appointed to the interim position of Associate Dean Research for the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at the University of Melbourne.

The Centre of Research Excellence in Newborn Medicine was joined by over 100 health professionals and family members in its first ‘Listen.Share.Learn’ event on April 13^th.  ‘Listen.Share.Learn’ is a series of online discussions that focus on topics identified by consumers of newborn medicine as important areas for change. Understanding how the neonatal experience affects parents’ mental health and how this can be improved was where our consumers wanted to start these important discussions – and that topic was the focus of our first discussion.
