The DAISY Study has finished recruitment! Thank you to over 135 families at the Queensland Children's and Sunshine Coast University Hospitals who chose to participate in the study, to our research coordinators, and to our PICU staff who helped recruit to the study.

Over the next 6-months, our team will continue to conduct follow-up with these families to measure the post-PICU outcomes of children and their parents and carers.

Well done Dr Michaela Waak and team. Your passion for helping children going through such a difficult time is remarkable 👏👏

Dr Michaela Waak has shared her work with us in paediatric stroke research, and paediatric code stroke, in Queensland.

In the last few years, we’ve seen a focus on childhood stroke gain momentum, partly due to the tireless advocacy of the Little Stroke Warrior community. (Thankyou!)

But despite a lack of investment in paediatric stroke, a group of dedicated health professionals have been working tirelessly for a decade or more, to improve the delivery of stroke treatment for our youngest - and Dr Michaela Waak is one of these remarkable people: https://bit.ly/3qPHA8q
