Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct

The Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct team proudly attended the Kids Advanced Therapeutics (KAT) Symposium 2025. This was an inspiring event that brought together researchers, health care professionals, government, industry and community members - all committed to embedding cutting edge therapeutics into paediatric care. Keynote speaker, Dr Mimi C. Lee MDPhD shared her compelling journey, providing evidence of her advocacy and leadership to date. Elizabeth Emma Palmer, Michelle Lorentzos MD and Paula Bray each chaired impressive sessions where participants offered local, national, and global perspectives on supporting equitable access to advanced therapeutics. Key takeaways from the day included: * Issues to consider when balancing risk and hope * The importance of bringing together shared knowledge to reduce the burden on patients and carers * The innovative approaches by patient advocacy organisations - particularly in the rare disease space - who are often carrying the burden of driving change * The value of developing health literacy and adapting governance and regulatory frameworks * The importance of coordinated networks and strategic decision making to deliver effective outcomes We thank Luminesce Alliance and Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation (SCHF) and Sydney Children's Hospitals Network for their visionary leadership and commitment to driving meaningful change! #Innovation #PaediatricCare #AdvancedTherapeutics #Collaboration #RandwickHealthInnovationPrecinct #RHIP
