Dementia Collaborative Research Centres Grant

View Source Professor Deborah Parker, in conjunction with Professor Kate Stevens (lead investigator) from the MARCs Institute and Ms Janice Stokes from Sydney West Baptist Care, has been awarded one of 26 collaborative research grants by the Dementia Collaborative Research Centres (DCRC).

Ending the complications

Most of us have needed a 'drip' during a stay in hospital. Worldwide, around 50% of patients admitted to hospitals require the insertion of a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC)—the technical name for the 'drip'—to receive IV fluids, medications or blood as part of a normal procedure.

Targeting Oral Health To Vulnerable Mothers

Women are at greater risk of poor oral health during pregnancy due to hormonal variations, changes to their diet, and morning sickness. This heightened risk may have serious consequences for the baby, with evidence suggesting that poor oral health during pregnancy may lead to increased pre-term births and lower birth weights—particularly for women from lower socio economic backgrounds.

Palliative care source of support

It's critical that residential aged care is equipped to care for the old and dying, but insufficient resources and workforce issues add to the challenge, writes Deborah Parker.
