Our PLOS One protocol paper for estimating the burden of superficial (skin and throat) Strep A infection in Australia just published - we hope this will inform understanding of burden of disease in different populations and contribute to monitoring journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Excited to have published this protocol in PLOS One detailing our approach to a comprehensive review of superficial group A Streptococcal burden in Australia. Make sure to look out for the full review paper later this year! dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

NSW: Fully Vaccinated / Not Fully Vaccinated General Population: 48.73% / 51.27% In Hospital With COVID: 3.76% / 96.24%

Excited for Sophie Wiegele, presenting results of our systematic review of superficial Group A Strep infections in Australia over the last 50 years. Catch her at the #ACAH2022 Academy of Child and Adolescent Health Trainee Prize session later today (& please send 📸 so rest of our team can see!)

“Transkids are just kids” Excellent presentation by @michelle_telfer, Rachel Skinner and Jenny Proimos. #ACAH2022 #LGTBIQ #transrights #adolescenthealth

Fantastic conversation on the very relevant topic of Climate Change and Children with Elizabeth Elliott, Prof Fiona Stanley, Tish King, Dr Kim Loo, Dr Cybele Dey and young climate activist, Ava Princi. #ACAH2022 #climatechange #sustainability Doctors for the Environment Australia #DutyofCare #SaveThePlanet

Thank you Academy of Child and Adolescent Health for the trainee award nomination, and invitation to present our systematic review aimed to inform preventative strategies for postGAS by defining the burden of superficial Strep A in Australia.

Really pleased to have been selected to present our research defining Australia’s superficial Strep A #sGAS burden at Science on the Swan conference this week!

Excellent to be sharing our recent systematic review of #sGAS burden in Australia, informing preventative strategies for iGAS and Rheumatic Heart Disease
