Our deadly @AKction2 cohort has been making waves at the @LowitjaInstitut @WePublicHealth 3rd International Indigenous Health & Wellbeing Conference. The breadth of our work has been delivered in oral presentation and poster style. We're extremely proud of the work we do 🖤💛❤️
AKction2: a great example of decolonising chronic disease care. Established with a reference team of people with lived experience, some of whom have now passed on. A ground up “ whirly whirly” approach #Lowitja2023
