Professor Richard Stubbs
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.

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 ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.2% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.6% Other - I'll share below

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
