2026 The Friends AGM
The Friends of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital held 2026 Annual General Meeting on 30th November, welcoming an incredible turnout of more than 100 Friends Members.
We were delighted to have Professor Michael Stark, Medical Unit Head of Neonatal Services at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital, officially open the meeting. Professor Stark shared fascinating insights into the history and evolution of neonatal medicine, highlighting the significant impact that equipment funded by The Friends has made to medical staff, families and, most importantly, the tiniest of babies.
Associate Professor & Friends Patron Ross Haslam AO along with Professor Stark also had the honour of presenting our Life Memberships, recognising the outstanding dedication and contribution of our long-standing members.
