Research and clinical trials

Ground-breaking new research has found that women with gestational diabetes can manage their condition by modifying their diet alone and are no longer considered at high risk of the common complication of big babies.

A world first study, published in The Lancet today, has found that women with diabetes in a low-risk pregnancy can safely express breast milk in late pregnancy, with the study dispelling concerns that the practice could cause harm to babies.

March is Endometriosis Month and The Women's staff are raising awareness of the disease and latest developments in research and clinical practice.

A very generous bequest from the estate of Ilma Mary Short enabled the Women’s to establish The Gynaecology Research Centre.
