On Good Friday, the Royal Hobart Hospital Research Foundation is holding its annual Easter Egg Hunt – which this year, will be held at the Government House Lawns.  From 10 til 2, kids of all ages will solve clues to uncover their own bag of eggs – with other games and activities to keep them entertained – and there might even be a visit from a certain bunny... 

The event is raising money to support life-saving medical research, like the Hobart Method – a treatment technique for premature babies that is now being introduced in hospital NICUs across the globe. 

In this episode of iHeart Tassie, Britt Aylen speaks with Professor Peter Dargaville, the man behind the Hobart Method, and medical engineer Andrew Marshall, whose current research project is being supported by the RHH Research Foundation.
