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
www.p3research.co.nz...
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.

In his talk Sir Ron will talk about the current statistics in crime and who are and for what are offenders punished for in New Zealand. Finally, he will discuss how parole works and why we should be bothered trying to rehabilitate offenders.

Cymbidium orchids- free to a good home.

Rhondda from Whitby

I have just divided my orchid plant. It was very root-bound. I have replanted all I want from it, so have a big clump of plant left. It has a pale pink, large flower.

I have replanted all I want from it, so have a big clump of plant left. It has a pale pink, large flower. It will need to be in a frost-free position. Please message me if you would like all that is left. The clump is big. It could be divided into about 10 plants. This photo is very like the orchid I have. I have now given the orchids to the first person who replied. I will leave this up in case they don't collect them.
