Professor Richard Stubbs

Rhondda Sweetman from Plimmerton Rotary

In a presentation few could not possibly be disinterested in,
Professor Richard Stubbs spoke about a business known as
P3 Research which has the goal of contributing to the
improvement of health outcomes for their participants and
future generations by providing independent and accurate
clinical research with integrity and professionalism.
This statement of the organisation’s mission and goal hides a fascinating story of how Richard left a career
as a surgeon to establish a business undertaking clinical trials in New Zealand. The key message was how
much effort goes into the integrity of the trial outcomes but above all else how important the safety of the
participants is.
Trials for new pharmaceuticals are a critical step in the very expensive process of achieving acceptance for
these products which may change peoples lives for the better.
Participation is a way of helping long-term the long term while perhaps helping yourself along the way.
If you are interested follow on Facebook www.facebook.com... or website

The presentation went way past time and at the end the questions continued to flow reflecting the interest in
the presentation of which I have captured but a modest part.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
