@SA_Rosenberg @DrAlexTan @Elekta_ANZ @TownsvilleHHS @AnikoCooper @ChrisRadOnc Yes! 2 of our radiation therapists made it.

[Alex Tan @DrAlexTan]

We did it. First patient treated on the @Elekta_ANZ #Unity #MRlinac at @TownsvilleHHS! Huge effort by the whole team. Feeling very proud of all involved @AnikoCooper @ChrisRadOnc @AmyBrownRT

[Amy Brown, PhD @AmyBrownRT]

Honoured to be supporting the stellar @TownsvilleHHS team in research on this amazing machine.

This is revolutionary... exciting times ahead!

When you're doing implementation, success and failure can look the same partway through. ~Helen Dickson.
Wise words to have patience and keep going, particularly in the context of health inequities. #hsr19 @hsraanz

[Amy Brown, PhD @AmyBrownRT]

Excellent synopsis by @CSnoswell on scoping review posing the question: Does #telehealth save money for the #healthsystem? #hsr19 @hsraanz

[Amy Brown, PhD @AmyBrownRT]

What are preferences around nutrition and exercise programs, and incentives? Interesting #DCE findings presented by @jemimahride at #hsr19 @hsraanz #DCEtwitter

[Amy Brown, PhD @AmyBrownRT]

Fascinating #DCE findings around health preferences in cancer patients by @aliepea and @jhsyim. #hsr19 @hsraanz #DCEtwitter

[Amy Brown, PhD @AmyBrownRT]

Interesting work by @he2016hehe on cooling caps for chemo therapy pts, with perspectives of pts and nurses captured. #hsr19 #ecr @hsraanz

[Alexandra Edelman @EdelmanAlex]

Our #hsr19 presentation on our research #impact evaluation in Townsville Hospital and Health Service from earlier today - the biggest barrier to impacts is a reporting and funding structure that effectively disincentives research investment @hsraanz
