24.01.2022 As the COVID-19 situation continues to unfold, we regret to inform our members and medical community that our events have been cancelled for the foreseeable future. As the situation progress, we will keep you updated on whats to come. A quick update to our members from our 2020 President Jack Hill-Rennie: "UQ Paeds will be postponing our events for the next couple of months. We will be looking to kick start again in the second half of the year when the time is appropriate.... It's obviously a very dynamic ever-changing scenario and at this stage it is more important to keep ourselves, clinicians and patients safe. Stay safe everyone"
