Introduction of TTTS laser treatment to New Zealand

Hi there,

Apoplogies for the delay in blog posting- I have been busy with a major project which has now come to fruition. We have now introduced SFLP for TTTS (see earlier post for more info) to New Zealand. A very proud moment for me personally and for our Fetal Medicine Unit in Auckland. We couldn't have done it without lots of people, but in particular: Mercury Energy Star Supporters Club, Starship Foundation, ADHB management, Ministry of Health and all the fab staff in our unit and the theatre team on level 9 and 4.

There has been a bit of media interest around this and if you have time to kill have a look!.....
