Women’s and Newborn Health
The Women's and Newborn Health Network is led by a steering committee responsible for governance, engagement, and supporting the education and research agenda of Women's and Newborn Health across the MACH sites.
Chaired by Professor Sue Walker AO, the Women’s and Newborn Health committee includes clinical and research expertise in key specialist areas such as preeclampsia, endometriosis, cancer, fetal medicine, newborn health, fertility and menopause.
Chair
The network aims to address key areas, including:
- Enabling opportunities for collaboration across the network
- Supporting research, and translation of research into practice, of topics affecting women and infants, issues that broadly affect the community but need to be viewed differently when patients are women, and research that utilises a gender lens more effectively
- Identifying and disseminating relevant funding opportunities
