Calling all Alfred Health and Monash researchers:
Lived experience perspectives are increasingly at the centre of clinical research.

In the leadup to Alfred Research Week, there's a great opportunity to hear from a consumer advisor who has been involved the research cycle, in a webinar next Mon, 20 Oct on The Consumer Perspective.

@shyamrith has sat for many years on the NHMRC/MRFF Consumer Advisory Group, championing the integration of consumer insights into medical education and health policies.

For 20 years, the Monash #FODMAP team have been giving Irritable Bowel Syndrome a gut punch ✊🥊

Their Low FODMAP Diet is now an evidence-based therapy recommended in clinical guidelines for #IBS management ... with courses and resources for dietitians and patients, a chart-topping app, and a cookbook!

On Tue 16 September 2025, to celebrate this milestone, three FODMAP team members will take us behind the scenes of how this ground-breaking diet evolved, at @MonashSTM's annual public lecture.

If you're one of the estimated 1 in 7 people worldwide living with IBS, a health professional, or you're simply interested in the latest research on diet and health, sign up now for this in-person and online event.
