Combined Study Meeting – February 16&17th, 2016

PREDICT research teams for the BellPIC, PARIS High Flow and ConSEPT studies met at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute (MCRI) in Melbourne for some general and study specific research education.  We learnt a lot from each other and it was a great opportunity to meet beyond the virtual world!  We hope to hold further meetings like this on an annual basis.  Please find attached presentations from the day.
