How to use technology to make prescribing infinitely more hazardous. “Just type the drug name” they said. “It will make it so easy…” #digitalhealth #MedTwitter #prescribing #medicalerror #paracetawtf

So excited to finally see the @healthgovau National Medical Workforce Strategy (NMWS) released today. Agree with @ama_media that the devil may be in implementation detail, but 🤞 good news for rural health and unaccredited training. health.gov.au/sites/default/… Go team! @amacdt

Why we mustn’t forget the need for #health reform after acute stress of #omicron wave passes - “Remember how it feels now… the fault lines have been exposed but it’s been building for years.” Thanks @claski
"Emergency departments are under extraordinary levels of pressure across the entire system. We've got a perfect storm of people presenting with COVID-19, but also high levels of staff shortages." - Dr Clare Skinner, @ACEMPresident. #abc730

Fascinating. Working in operating theatres has been mind boggling in terms of the plastic waste. Glimmers of hope… but we HAVE to get real about #sustainability in #health!! @DocsEnvAus @ama_media

👏 👏 trainee voices should not be tokenised. Some long overdue changes to come I hope. #medtwitter @RANZCP
Today I stand with my fellow @RANZCP trainees - as such, myself and other members of the trainee committee have officially resigned from our post so that we can finally have a voice without being silenced @skyekinder @DrKieranAllen @PatMcGorry @mbismark @venessb @bhatrey
