The AusCP-CTN CRE aims to foster and develop current and future leaders in cerebral palsy research and clinical practice. Our vision for the future workforce for children with Cerebral Palsy is national capacity building comprising individuals (Medical/Allied health) with expertise in more than one key area of research and/or training (basic science/neuroscience, epidemiology, clinical/health services initiatives, and translation/implementation). The interdisciplinary nature and depth of research across broad research areas will enable clinical training across multiple disciplines including: Medical, Newborn Medicine, Paediatrics, Neurology, Neurogenetics, Orthopaedics; Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, Biomechanics, Epidemiology and Biostatistics and Knowledge Translation.
