What a monumental effort from a worldwide team!
Now for follow up completion, validation, and maximising data completeness so we can move to analysis 🧐 – at Far North District, New Zealand
Announcing our core collaborative project for 2022… OPERAS (opioid prescriptions and usage after surgery)!
At a key time for opiate prescribing, OPERAS has the potential to impact clinical practice in Australia and New Zealand.
Register interest via the @TASMANCollab website!
We’re excited to share a new collaborative project: 💊OPERAS💊
We are inviting YOU to become a collaborator (you’ll be a PubMed-citable co-author!) for this study.

The first collaborative project of this scale developed right here in Australia/New Zealand. A privilege to take part.

Where do you fit as a student? You can take up various roles and upskill yourself in different aspect of research. Keep an eye out for TASMAN’s upcoming homegrown project next year! @TASMANCollab @anzsurgsocs @williamxu_98 @isabella_lud @chrisvarghese98 @drcamwells – at Adelaide, South Australia
Kudos to our team of students, JMOs and trainees in Hunter New England for their contributions to this exciting milestone. Our thanks and congratulations to the entire @postventt team for an enormous collaborative effort over many months to get this project across the line 🌏🩸🩺
Yes, we have crossed the 2000 mark ..first Prospective collaborative trainee-led study to do so in Aus/NZ. Thanks to 53 hospitals with 577 collaborators and an amazing steering team to get us here @TobyRichardsUWA @PPockney @Scalpel_Deborah @uyenjessvo @chrisvarghese98 @surgnags

Never underestimate the value of your contribution. Collaborative research is the new paradigm. @anzsurgsocs @TASMANCollab @STRATA_Collab @StarcSa @sallylangley @HunterSpartans @ACTPRASurgery @VERITAS_Collab @anzvtn @andrewghillmd @DrHWoo @Murali_HPBSurg
Trainee-led regional networks in General Surgery have changed the paradigm for a collaborative approach to research and have proven to be very effective globally in delivering large multicentre clinical trials. Read more: bit.ly/3669UbH @CtanzDavid @LorwaiT
This milestone comes as Maitland Hospital officially joins our ranks today for data collection in period 2. Looking forward to contributing a larger record of our local practices to inform policy and guidelines surrounding the treatment of peri-operative anaemia 👏
Fantastic work from our John Hunter data collectors! Large scale, well designed studies like this both further the surgical literature, and verse our med students and junior docs in valuable foundational research skills. 🩸📊💻
T minus zero days! Huge thank you to the tireless project development team, our 20+ collaborators across three sites in the Hunter New England network, and the HoDs and PIs supporting us. 🩸🩺🌏 #traineeledresearch #collaborativeresesrch @postventt
Awesome D1...a first for all the trainees in Aus and NZ ....thanks @drcamwells @williamxu_98 @sukahgoh @DrDavidSLiu @tarik_sammour @LorwaiT @VERITAS_Collab @StarcSa @HunterSpartans @strive_wa @STRATA_Collab @TASMANCollab all pitching in. Look out ..for more. @ACWZannettino

COVIDSurg Week Australia
>3,500 patients data entered. From 44 hospitals, with a few still to enter. Widest spread of collaborators in any project run here so far.
Only 300ish missing data items, lets get them tidied up this week! Database remains open for data this week
Tomorrow is the last day to finalise data entry for CovidSurg Week! In total, data has been collected on 133,000 patients in 114 countries. In Aus and NZ, 507 researchers have been working across 52 hospitals. The numbers are staggering. Congrats to @GlobalSurg and all involved!
Thrilled to see this through to publication, and for more exposure on the benefits of collaborative research for students and JMOs. Great experience writing with you @surgnags @StarcSa @strive_wa @STRATA_Collab @HunterSpartans @VERITAS_Collab @TASMANCollab & Quest Collaborative!
Great working with networks around Australia to shine a light about the state of play for ANZ #collaborativeresearch.

Love this innovation! Kudos to @TASMANCollab for working towards the same opportunities for students and junior doctors.
#CTANZ Inaugural Shark Tank event. Wow! Great ideas pitched by surgical trainees and Fellows (Aust, NZ and UK). Unlimited potential for int'l collaborations. @STRATA_Collab @HunterSpartans @CtanzDavid @PPockney @ACTPRASurgery @RACSurgeons
Seriously amazing achievement. Hats off to @CovidSurg for coordinating milestone international research!
🌏🌏🌎This is an international study set to be the largest data set in #surgery so far! Collaborators have managed to obtain study approvals across the world! 🌎🌏🌍#collaborativeresearch
3 weeks in and the @CovidSurg study has already collected data for over 20,000 patients around the world!
We have >60 researchers working hard across 4 hospitals and 11 surgical specialties in HNE. There is 1 week to go of data collection so get in touch if you’d like to join!
Our team at Hunter New England in NSW, Australia are very excited to be joining the fray!
Data collection week of Oct 12-18 across 12 surgical specialties.
Local trainees, JMOs and medical students, email us at [email protected] to find out more and express your interest.
🆕 Today we launch @GlobalSurg @CovidSurg week: a multi-centre cohort study that aims to define the best timing for surgery in patients previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and to determine global surgical indicators.

There are several wonderful things that delight me about research collaboratives-
1. The amplification of individual efforts, thus reducing research waste
2. The #DiversityAndInclusion aspect- everyone can contribute regardless of work pattern, location, stage...

Watch this space... #TASMAN2021
AUS/NZ trainees have done well so far collaborating in #IMAGINE #GlobalSurg3 #RECON #COMPASS. Its time to take the next big step, let's start a new project from scratch..looking at you @STRATA_Collab @VERITAS_Collab @TASMANCollab @HunterSpartans @strive_wa @storcc @anzsurgsocs
