While much attention is focused on premature infants, research shows that the well-being of parents is equally important to a child's care journey and long-term development.

The study led by A/Prof Zubair Amin identified key factors affecting the quality of life of parents of premature infants, including emotional stress, feeling unprepared for caregiving, and a lack of social support.

These findings provide valuable insights for healthcare teams seeking to better support families through the challenges of premature birth, from the neonatal intensive care unit to the transition home.

This research underscores the importance of family-centred care in achieving better outcomes for both.

What happens when designers step into a hospital?

We recently welcomed 174 IHL students to our Allied Health & Pharmacy (AH&P) Learning Journey 2026, where they got a closer look at the many ways AH&P professionals make a difference in patient care.

From hands-on activities to behind-the-scenes tours, students explored 13 AH&P professions and discovered how these roles work together to support diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery.

We were encouraged by the enthusiasm and curiosity of our participants. Many shared that the experience gave them a better understanding of what a career in AH&P could look like.
