Another great privilege to give a keynote presentation on our work on cCMV screening and the Australasian cCMV Register at a national seminar at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute in Sweden. Thank you Ulrika Löfkvist for inviting and hosting me! I shared the important work of Hayley Smithers-Sheedy Professor Asha Bowen OAM and Professor Cheryl Jones on gathering evidence on outcomes of cCMV across Australia. We also exchanged ideas about improving public health awareness of CMV in the community. Thank you to Anna Persson for sharing knowledge from the amazing Swedish register for children who are deaf and hard of hearing, and exchanging ideas about how we are developing the Australian National Child Hearing Health Outcomes Registry. It was especially wonderful to visit Ulrika Löfkvist at Uppsala University in the beautiful town of Uppsala.
