World Parkinson's Day aims to raise awareness, improve understanding, and promote advocacy for Parkinson's disease - a progressive neurological condition and currently the fastest-growing neurological disorder worldwide.

This year saw the introduction of a global moment, Spark the Night, encouraging landmarks and public spaces to be illuminated in bright blue, to shine a light on Parkinson’s awareness - because ‘most people still don’t see it coming’.

While we didn’t have the means to illuminate the whole hospital, we did mark the occasion by lighting up the meeting room with a blue morning tea. Thank you to Joe at AbbVie for sponsoring the catering, and our researcher Bec for organising.

Our Movement Disorders team, in conjunction with our Neurosurgery team, are currently progressing one of our newest clinical trials – exPDite: A study to assess Midbrain Dopaminergic Neuronal Cell Therapy to restore motor function for participants with Parkinson's disease. We are proud to be the second site outside the United States to commence this promising research, and look forward to sharing exciting future updates.

Today is World Health Day, highlighting the 2026 theme “Together for health. Stand with science.”

To mark the occasion, we’re sharing photos from our Broken Brains Lunch held on Friday 20 March, hosted by Prof Kate Drummond, where a fabulous time was had by all.

A huge thank you to our Ambassador Jamila Rizvi and co-author Rosie Waterland for sharing their tough yet deeply relatable stories, their struggles with brain health, that created a powerful sense of connection and empathy with our audience.

We were delighted to host this special, intimate event and are grateful to everyone who supported it.

More to come!

💜 Today is Purple Day for World Epilepsy Day – a global initiative to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and highlight the needs of the more than 50 million people living with epilepsy worldwide.

We marked the day with a big team photo, a splash of purple, and some delicious purple cupcakes, with thanks to The Cupcake Queens.

This photo was taken during the weekly VEM Meeting. Video EEG monitoring (VEM) is a specialised diagnostic test that records a person's brainwave activity (EEG) alongside their physical behaviour (video) over an extended period – primarily used to diagnose and treat epilepsy.

🕯️Today marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of Jeremie Delbosc – diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2014 and passed away on 16 February 2016 at just 26 years old.

Before his passing, Jeremie and his wife, Sarah, started the initiative Getting A-Head of Brain Cancer, which later evolved into the Run For Jeremie in his honour – collectively raising over $52,000 to support our brain tumour research.

Today, we fondly remember Jeremie, and extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sarah for her remarkable on-going commitment and contribution to advancing this vital research.
