Attending the 1st Australasian Nursing & Midwifery Clinical Trials Summit. We make up 60% of the registered health workforce. Our potential to lead research that improves patient care and outcomes is greatly underestimated. @CNMHSR_ECU @acn_tweet @marioneckert5 @anmctn

We are incredibly proud of AVAS members @a_ullman and @Claire_AVATAR on this outstanding achievement. This research will contribute to reducing CVC complications in children with cancer. Well done Amanda and Claire!
I am honoured & excited by the investment from @nhmrc as an IG to reduce CVC complications for kids w cancer & build capacity for the future.
I am also excited that we get to DO the research, rather than PROPOSE the research, for the next 5 years.

We explored child & family CVAD experiences
We found they are complex but ~positive shaped by
-movements thru hospital/home, esp. care variation & procedural distress
-device selection & location
@vineet_chopra @AVATAR_grp
Children need to be safe from CVAD harm
Our paper in @Ped_Research shows how far we have to go to reduce CVAD failure (~20% CVADs) & assoc costs ($2,327 per episode)
