Welcome<\/h2>\n

June and July have been busy months for the team. As winter set in, JTI researchers have been hard at work preparing and submitting several grant and fellowship applications. Kim Ballinger has commenced in the role of Nurse Educator for TraumaQ\u00a0and STOP THE BLEED\u00ae<\/a>, and will add enormous capacity to enable the expansion of both trauma education initiatives. We also had several opportunities to recognise the achievements of our postgraduate students as they completed key academic milestones. Importantly, registrations are open for four events in this year\u2019s local trauma scene: the Queensland Trauma Symposium, the annual Kenneth Jamieson Lecture the Trauma Care in Regional, Rural and Remote Queensland Research Symposium and the Southeast Queensland Health Disaster Readiness Alliance Symposium. JTI staff attended the Metro North Health Research Summit and the Research Excellence Awards ceremony on 30 July, where the Community Opioid Dispensing after Injury (CODI)<\/a> study, led by Cate Cameron, was a proud finalist. Although CODI was not successful on this occasion, we are proud to have been recognised alongside so many outstanding researcher teams. Congratulations to all the award winners and fellow finalists for their game-changing work and commitment to improving clinical care.<\/p>\n
