Invited speakers
Professor Paula Meier is the Director for Clinical Research and Lactation in the Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit and is a Professor of Women’s and Children’s Health Nursing and a Professor of Pediatrics at Rush
University Medical Center in Chicago. Dr. Meier has conducted numerous externally-funded research
projects, and currently serves as the principal investigator for a 5-year, $2.76 million NIH-funded study,
Health Outcomes and Cost of Human Milk Feedings for Very Low Birthweight Infants. She has published

Associate Professor Sandie Bredemeyer OAM is currently the Clinical Nurse Consultant for Perinatal
Nursing at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. Sandie is one of the most experienced and highly
regarded neonatal nurses in Australia, completing her PhD on the effect of body positioning on the incidence
of apnoea in the preterm newborn. Her clinical expertise and formal lecturing skills enabled the introduction
of the neonatal practitioner training program at RPA Newborn Care. Achievements for improved patient
outcomes include setting up and managing the human milk donor program that was introduced into RPA
Newborn Care in 2005. This program is targeted to the high-risk very preterm infant.
