STOP AD

We are now back up and running since June 2020.

The team are recruiting new participants in the CUMH and we are currently completing the 2/4 week, 8 week, 6 months and 12 months follow appointments in The INFANT Research Centre located at Brookfield Health Complex in UCC.  We have new Covid-19 protocols in place to ensure your safety during the visit, which include your baby and 1 parent attending, temperatures being taken at the door and hand sanitiser and face mask being provided for parents.  To reduce the length of time of the visit, we are now emailing you the questionnaire prior to the appointment and request you complete it before attending.

As pre-COVID-19,  we are available on the phone and by email at 087 3187925 &  skinstudy@ucc.ie .

Our team will be in touch with you prior to any assessment and will explain the changes to assessments in detail.
