Thankyou Terry for sharing this resource,

I have experienced surprise and negativity towards investigating and expanding the use of SEDs, despite the evidence supporting them. Interesting that we haven’t embraced these products more widely in Australia.

Kind Regards

Dear Terry

Thank you for access to the publication and congratulations on getting it published. I wonder if Australia will ever make progress in this area.

I also wonder if you think that the same strategies would work equally in countries like Australia and NZ where we still have no legislation mandating use of safety-engineered devices. It would be interesting to repeat the study in ANZ.

Is this paper the basis of what you will be preventing at APIC or will it be different?

Yours sincerely

Cath
