LUNCH AND LEARN 
ONE FARRER PLACE PARTNERSHIP

The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation has partnered with One Farrer Place (Governor Phillip Tower and Governor Macquarie Tower) to take The Royal to the city and deliver talks at Dexus Place on a wide range of health matters to the 6,000 people located within the 120 businesses at One Farrer Place. The Lunch and Learn series is also being made available to tenants located in the nearby locations of the MLC Centre and Australia Square.

TUESDAY 28 AUGUST | 12:30PM

The inaugural ‘Lunch and Learn’ will be held with The Royal’s Professor Bill Ledger, Head & Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of New South Wales.

In the talk Prof Ledger will cover what you might need to consider in your 20s, 30s and 40s regarding fertility. We will explore the science and the facts behind preserving fertility through egg freezing, IVF, egg donors and surrogacy, and fertility options for same sex couples.

We ask why egg freezing might be a good idea, who should (and should not) consider it, what you’d have to do and how well it might work. We will also end with a look into the future of fertility medicine.

Amanda Kenny, Chair of the Royal Hospital for Women Foundation, said ‘I am thrilled with the opportunity the One Farrer Place partnership represents to our organisation. We are passionate about sharing the depth of expert knowledge in women’s health at The Royal with the broader community. We appreciate how busy lives can be; the ‘Lunch and Learn’ series will bring trusted, world-leading health information to women and men in the city, and provide an opportunity for The Royal to engage with corporates to grow our support base for the only women’s hospital in NSW.’

Furthering their support and partnership with The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation, Blackmores Institute will be also be involved in ‘Lunch and Learn’ providing products and health consultants available following the talk to provide personal advice to guests.

ABOUT THE ROYAL

The Royal Hospital for Women, Randwick is the only dedicated women’s hospital in NSW.

Each year, more than 10,000 women and girls and their families draw on clinical and research excellence that has evolved over The Royal’s 152 year history.

The Royal provides holistic care for mothers and babies, women of all ages and their families. The care these women receive, often at vulnerable times of life such as planning a family, during pregnancy, or coping with a life-threatening diagnosis, will resonate throughout their lives.

Every year The Royal Hospital for Women delivers around 4,000 babies and provides life-saving care to 1,000 premature or critically-ill newborns. Many of these babies are flown in from rural, regional and remote areas of NSW to the state’s biggest and busiest NICU (newborn intensive care unit).

The Royal is highly regarded for its superb Maternal Fetal Medicine unit and exceptional Midwifery Group Practice. But the hospital provides so much more. Individualised care is delivered for more than 6,000 women whose conditions are represented in areas of gynaecology, menopause, breast cancer, endometrial disease, gynaecological oncology, adolescent gynaecology, fertility, genetics and reproductive medicine.

 The Royal Hospital for Women Foundation supports The Royal by providing philanthropic funding that underpins the clinical excellence, medical research, health education programs and holistic care of women from all backgrounds, highlighted above. The ‘Lunch and Learn’ series is a means of broadcasting the excellent work undertaken at The Royal Hospital for Women. Please support us when you can, remembering that corporate gift matching through your workplace may also be an option to double your gift.

FRIDAY 28 SEPTEMBER | 12:30PM
