A message from Executive Dean of Health Sciences Professor Suzanne Chambers:
Launched last week, the university’s Vision 2033 places the human person and its flourishing at the core of all that we do, and the Faculty of Health Sciences has this at its heart.
Visiting the University of Cambridge recently, I was reminded that at ACU we are part of a global network of like-minded institutions, that carry social responsibility for learning, knowledge creation, and imagining and creating the future. As a leading Catholic university, our vision is to enable flourishing lives, foster thriving communities and forge an ethical future where we can make a difference in our own way.
In this regard, the Faculty’s researchers continue to be recognised for research excellence that is clearly focussed on improving health outcomes.
Professor Sandy Middleton and her team make a difference by translating observations from the lab into interventions with real life impact. Their life-changing Quality in Acute Stroke Care Research Program (QASC) implementing the Fever, Sugar, Swallow Protocols to manage post-stroke complications is saving lives and transforming stroke patient care around the world. Professor Middleton and her team won the prestigious 2023 Translation Award at the Australian Cardiovascular Alliance (ACvA) Excellence in Cardiovascular Research Awards announced 11 February.
Professor Middleton is also striving to make a difference to the lives of children presenting to regional and rural hospitals with bronchiolitis and is a chief investigator on a newly awarded $5M NHMRC Medical Research Frontier Research grant.
