The impact of interventions on children and families\u2019 quality of life will be a key priority for the CRE-CP, and this grand round will discuss the effective use of QoL measures in research, before focusing on the CRE-CP\u2019s efforts to improve the surveillance and management of hip displacement. The implications of poor hip outcomes for adolescents and young adults will be explored, highlighting the need for improved translation of clinical guidelines for surveillance into practice. Two major clinical trials that aim to determine the most effective surgical management of displacement will be introduced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPEAKER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Professor Dinah Reddihough <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Verdana; color: #425462; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Verdana; color: #425462; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Verdana; color: #425462; font-size: small;\">is the Primary Investigator on the CRE-CP and is involved in the clinical care of children with disabilities, particularly those with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability. <\/span><\/span><\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Kim-Michelle Gilson <\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Verdana; color: #425462; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Verdana; color: #425462; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Verdana; color: #425462; font-size: small;\">is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne with a clinical psychology background.
