I wrote this for @GuardianAus today on how, as normality finally inches ever closer for Australia, our vaccination successes aren’t equally distributed across society at the expense of the most vulnerable & so why opportunistic vaccination is our best shot ↓

Yesterday the ACT became the first Aust jurisdiction to offer universal access to free abortions. This new article shows unintended pregnancy is "disproportionally experienced by women with structural disadvantages and exposure to sexual coercion." https://t.co/4Abhck7MIE

With more than 50 per cent of female surgeons reporting harassment or sexist abuse, is this a #MeToo moment for the health service? https://t.co/XnxBwPDQhL

👇🏻 this is an essential read for anyone interested in cultural safety in health care systems #patientsafety #culturalsafety #FOAMed

@DianaRyall 21 public hospitals in Australia are run by Catholic Health and will not offer reproductive health care. This is completely unacceptable. All public hospitals should provide all legal health services.

Reproductive health equity - specifically making abortion & miscarriage care safe, easy and accessible - is an overdue and hugely important topic of conversation this #IWD2023. Amazing work @ellierjohnson #AbortionIsHealthcare

Starting the day right at @northernhealth_ learning about the expansion of abortion services and the midwife lead work to codesign care that meets the needs of the multicultural and diverse communities of Melbourne’s north. #IWD2023 #AbortionIsHealthcare

“This points to the notion of ‘lifestyle drift,’ a term coined to describe the tendency for policy to start off recognising the need for action on upstream political and social determinants of health inequities only to drift downstream to focus largely on individual behaviours”

To teammates who, despite its challenges, make EM the best job in the world 👏🏻👏🏻

I’m so sorry to hear of this experience, and similar stories from many other people. @acemonline has been developing policy and advocacy towards integrated, accessible and easy-to navigate mental health care.

This week in 1951, Henrietta Lacks died from cervical cancer. She is often remembered as the source of the "immortal" HeLa cell line, or as a symbol of grave racial injustice. Who was Henrietta Lacks?

Such an interesting article! On the pathway to greener healthcare: from the Hunter Valley to Darwin and beyond https://t.co/bVaTAB3puW Thanks @SarahNSimons for previewing #GreenHealthForum22 and thanks to all the interviewees who contributed. HT @healthy_climate

Hey Twitter, I’m running the Melbourne half marathon next weekend for @safestepsFV, an invaluable local organisation supporting people experiencing family violence - any sponsorship goes a long way & is greatly appreciated ❤️ https://t.co/dkEz2Mwa5G

On this overdose awareness day, it’s timely that the coroner just released data showing that fatal opioid overdoses in Yarra have reduced 60% since 2018 when the MSIR opened. @NRCHaus #IOAD2022

Multiple admissions for attempted suicide overnight, again. "Jumped because can't afford to eat". Again.

The good bin, glory days https://t.co/txCPsT0SSq

~50% of people who die by suicide are seen in an Emergency Department within 12 months of death but the pressures on & environment of an ED make therapeutic mental healthcare very challenging, now more so than ever - this report is especially timely and unsurprising.

Eleanor Johnson, Research Midwife, will join the MacHSR Future Leaders Fellowship program, for her work on research project 'partnering with consumers to co-design comprehensive abortion care in Melbourne's north'. Story: https://t.co/ZWUq6H1DWg #wearenorthern #safekindtogether

Though Covid numbers are up & masks & working from home have been reintroduced, healthcare workers are no longer prioritised for boosters. Young people aged 20-34 make up most of Aus’ health workforce, but there’s still no sign of a 4th vax for many of us - my letter @theage 👇🏻
