News:

Great news that we now have 6 centres enrolling following completion of all education.

In the month of August 2018, we have been successful in getting our first regional centre up and running with another two regional centres starting in the next month in South East Qld.

All other metropolitan and tertiary centres currently recruiting are performing well.  Winter has not been as kind to the study as we’d have liked with enrolment, but this is obviously better for the children to stay out of hospital!  We have had slower recruitment than what we originally expected overall and keep watching and observing the seasonal changes in each of our countries/States.

….. Next month we feature Sepsis: Elliot Long.
