Here we go ! About to kick off the connecting the dots symposium ⁦Intelligent Polymer Research Institute (IPRI)⁩ in #TheGong. Bringing together next generation researchers with clinical, regulatory, policy and commercial expertise. Making connections - the key to successful translation

‘Connecting the dots’ - great Saturday morning symposium Intelligent Polymer Research Institute (IPRI) displaying the strengths of tackling society’s health challenges through collaboration

Bruce Ashford - actually we have a responsibility to work together to identify medical challenges and implement strategies to address them. If we don’t do it who will ?

Yep … time to find a much more effective way we can take fundamental discoveries to impact ..

⁦⁦⁦Bruce Ashford⁩ exposes ⁦AHHA⁩ inequity, ⁦@jcBeyond5⁩ shares research hurdles. ⁦Yet ⁦Dr Darren Saunders⁩ Robyn Langham ⁦TGA Australia⁩ ⁦@Lea_Kirkwood1⁩ ⁦NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation⁩ show our inspiring ecosystem. Better connectivity is key! ⁦

What a buzz connecting your next generation of leaders with our system experts ⁦Gordon Wallace⁩. Thanks to all who travelled far and wide, even woke up at 3am to get here. Without your passion we couldn’t connect each other ⁦RACSurgeons⁩ ⁦Jean-Frederic Levesque⁩

Well done to our Chris O’Brien Lifehouse Head and Neck Research team members including Dr Rebecca Venchiarutti, Dr Emma Charters and Dr Hai Xin who presented their projects at the Beyond Science Connecting the Dots Symposium held last Saturday.

Surgeon’s evening in NSW. RACSurgeons Wonderful to see so many of our colleagues being awarded for their service. @raq_70 A/Prof. Schnitzler, Dr Angus Gray

He was a much loved colleague, mentor and friend. One of the most loved chair’s of RACS NSW. Won’t forget his infectious smile, sense of humour, love for food and fashion and crazy energy. It is with heavy heavy hearts we bear this sad news. 😔

And we’re off! Exciting day ahead for RACS academic surgery meeting. Kick off with Dr Ben Dunne setting the scene of mandatory changes coming to Victorian hospitals to address sustainable practices ⁦RACSurgeons⁩ ⁦NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation⁩ ⁦World Health Organization (WHO)⁩

Heartfelt discussion from patient’s frustration in engaging with research in the health system. A challenge in our clinical trials ecosystem is a predominance of industry sponsored trials that is geared to answer a question about a drug not about improving patient outcomes

Peter Choong shares his inspiring philosophy for leadership in innovation challenging barriers to change. “You are the CEO of your own life - go ahead, try it, in you fail, you know not to do it again”

We are declaring this a week to celebrate collaboration. In doing so, we will be highlighting our collaborators all week long here at IPRI, showcasing and sharing the research and achievements that have come from our many partnerships over the years. #CollaboratorsWeek

Celebrating collaboration by looking at our work with Payal Mukherjee and Sophie Fleming for 3D printed ears. #collaboratorsweek bit.ly/46rsuId

What a great initiative. Thanks @IPRI for all the years of fun and creative brain juice. It’s been an amazing journey. Keep inspiring us with your energy 👏👏👏Integrated Prosthetics & Reconstruction Institute of Academic Surgery Bruce Ashford Gordon Wallace @jcBeyond5

Celebrating #IWD in NSW RACSurgeons Great talk by Danette W presenting on “Dysfunctional/Disruptive Physician Behaviour” What is the solution? We need cultural change and systemic changes from administrative leaders to manage this behaviour.
