Very sad about this. This work needs to be done
Probably the saddest episode we've put out as @1healthau.bsky.social @plr-aus.bsky.social and Kate Browne discuss the failure to get the Intermittent self-catheterisation study over the line. The disappointment is palpable. infectioncontrolmatters.com/latest/ #IDSky
