Dr Suzanne Orchard and local ASPREE Senior Study Co-ordinator Rosalind (Ros) Whittaker hosted the first ASPREE study update for 2016 in Wollongong on March 17.
“It was terrific to meet so many participants and guests at the ASPREE study update in Wollongong last week,” said senior research manager, Dr Suzanne Orchard, who is based at the ASPREE Head Office in Melbourne.
Ros Whittaker, the sole ASPREE staff member working in the region, undertakes study visit activity with more than 500 participants living between Campbelltown, Bowral and Nowra. Her working day may involve quite a bit of driving!
More than 150 local GPs are registered co-investigators to the trial.
Suzanne was introduced to the oldest ASPREE participant in the region, aged 92, and met several participants and guests that had travelled over an hour to attend the event.
The update on the progress of the trial was held at the new Wollongong Masonic Centre and Hall in Gipps Rd, Gwynneville. Our thanks to Ros and guests for the warm welcome to Wollongong and the Wiseman Park Bowling Club for their assistance in setting up in preparation for the event.
