@ChurchillGowns I am trying to get in contact with someone re: hired gown return. Have tried FB and email but no luck with a reply. Suggestions?

Unreasonable stress and unsafe working hours shouldn't be seen as a ‘right of passage’ for junior doctors https://t.co/3pMYlAwWfh

#2018Budget update to #BMP and #MRBS - current #medical students are able to op-in to new arrangements: Return of Service, eligible ROS locations, reduced 'Medicare Ban' for MRBS. Read more from @ama_media at https://t.co/pncpo7hysT #ruralhealth #medicine #auspol #HealthBudget18

“We're glad to see the Government investing in Rural Clinical Schools that already exist in Dubbo/Wagga/Shepparton/Bendigo. These are investments in existing programs that are working. But we are baffled by the decision to fund yet another new school in Orange." @ama_media

[Dr Jill Tomlinson @jilltomlinson]

Creating more rural medical schools won't increase the number of rural doctors because the pipeline theory doesn't work.

#MEDIARELEASE Students around Aus are rolling up their sleeves in one of the largest blood-drives in the country. "It's about making sure our future docs are confident donating blood and also encouraging the wider community to donate regularly" https://t.co/TCAAJkgY2r @ama_media

The AMA unequivocally condemns conversion therapy, as does the World Medical Association https://t.co/aOO4f3a1zy #auspol

Australians are fed up with faithfully paying high premiums for years, only to be hit with tricky exclusions when they go to use their insurance. The AMA has singled out Bupa for unconscionable behaviour https://t.co/uQUOTdqkCc #auspol

#BreakingNews: Talked to @dailytelegraph & @theheraldsun about the changing rate of invasive #melanoma in #Australia. Males over 55 still have annually increasing rates. If in doubt get that #UglyDuckling #spot checked out. #skincancer #sunprotection #UVRaysDontTakeHolidays

We don’t choose to get #sick. We don’t choose to need for an #emergency #operation. We don’t chose to go a public #hospital for that emergency. But we might need to choose the #surgeon to get the best chance in a desperate situation. #BUPA #auspol @AMA_NSW https://t.co/JZ5F32vXFi

We cannot allow patient care to be dictated by health insurers. Everyone deserves the same treatment. Learn more about how this sets Australian healthcare down a dangerous path: https://t.co/v2qt9vFlIT #auspol #aushealth https://t.co/qatTNZZ3F1

[AMA Media @ama_media]

The AMA will not stand by and let Bupa take this big leap towards US-style managed care. Health insurers should never seek to dictate what care a patient receives and where they are treated @BupaAustralia https://t.co/pLvX3r97Zi

[Doug Roche @douglasjroche]

Great first column by @AlexLFarrell in @amaausmed - sometimes we forget as drs that pretty much all med students want is to be included as part of the team. One kind word can make a huge difference

#MEDIARELEASE: AMA plan gives junior doctors the chance to stay rural
"The key is keeping junior doctors in the country after internship by giving them the opportunity to train to be specialists, GPs, or rural generalists in rural hospitals"

The Federal Government could learn a lot from what NSW Health is doing to try and reduce rates of overweight and obesity. It's great to have this at the state level but we need greater action from the Commonwealth. https://t.co/tprvHpmKqi

Young docs are already keen to work rurally-give them the training places to do so @yourAMSA @yourAMSArural https://t.co/xjY35fHnmp
