Royal Society of Tasmania: Jonathan Mulford

Next date: Sunday, 27 July 2025 | 01:30 PM

The Royal Society of Tasmania Northern Branch presents a public lecture by Jonathan Mulford: Orthopaedic research in Launceston, Clifford Craig Foundation.

The involvement of the orthopaedic unit in clinical research has many benefits for Northern Tasmania.

Importantly it results in improved patient outcomes, shaped clinical guidelines and has positive impacts on the culture of clinical care.

Professionally it has fostered collaboration with colleagues around Australia, retained and engaged clinicians in our unit and encouraged medical students to be involved in research.

This presentation will highlight some of the many research projects the orthopaedic unit has been involved in.

There will be discussion from using steroids to improve post operative pain, blood injections for knee arthritis to robotic joint replacement.
