New article with @LydiaMainey - on why we should be wary of calls for 'civility' in relation to health/healthcare. We argue that 'appeals to civility, when understood alongside power, could serve to stifle and mask legitimate dissent'

Have you ever been "impelled by fervent scientific curiosity"? Sounds painful. #preditorypublishers

1/4 "We need to reshape medical degrees impacting students to take an interest in #SexualAndReproductive health. It shouldn’t begin after medical school."
To learn to become the best doctors, @swathy_santha shared 3 asks for the #SenateInquiry #UniversalAccess #ReproductiveCare

#AbortionEquity #ReproductiveCare

[Australian Women's Health Alliance @AusWomensHealth]

Dr @LydiaMainey's final call to action is to the largest workforce in Australia:

"Nurses and midwives have a significant political leverage. I call upon our peak bodies, unions as well as vocational and higher education communities, to submit to the inquiry."

[Australian Women's Health Alliance @AusWomensHealth]

2/3 @LydiaMainey calls for a standardized evidence-based, reproductive health training across all pre-registration, nursing and midwifery courses, implemented and overseen by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council #AbortionEquity

[Australian Women's Health Alliance @AusWomensHealth]

1/3 Both Dr @LydiaMainey and soon-to-be Dr @swathy_santha call for reproductive health care training across Australia before health practitioners enter the health workforce #AbortionEquity #ReproductiveCare #HealthySystems @MSI_Australia

[Australian Women's Health Alliance @AusWomensHealth]

#UniversalAccess to #ReproductiveHealthCare also requires addressing structural workforce issues urgently and comprehensively. Thank you Dr @LydiaMainey for naming the need to care for our health workers. @MSI_Australia #AbortionEquity

[Australian Women's Health Alliance @AusWomensHealth]

Current under resourced fragmented services, which perpetuate inequitable care, and heightened risk to patient safety, is causing a vicious cycle where workers become mentally and physically exhausted. This compromises ability to provide good care - @LydiaMainey #AbortionEquity

[Repro Choice Aus @ReproChoiceAu]

Do you believe everyone should have access to contraception and abortion? #AbortionEquity

Of course you do!

Please tell the Senate Inquiry this! Here is a template @MSI_Australia have prepared to make it easy for you. https://t.co/48l38e48BG

[Australian Women's Health Alliance @AusWomensHealth]

Dr Syahir Soffi from the Royal Darwin and Palmerston Hospitals calls on no cost abortions in primary care and public hospitals for any pregnant person. This is already happening in the NT, where most abortions are accessed at no cost. @MSI_Australia #AbortionEquity

[Australian Women's Health Alliance @AusWomensHealth]

Dr @LydiaMainey calls for a Royal Commission into the health and wellbeing of the Australian health workforce. Providing equitable #ReproductiveHealthCare relies on a stable and committed workforce. @MSI_Australia #AbortionEquity

[Cr Jamal Hakim (he/him) @thejamalhakim]

Dr Philip Goldstone is speaking about the changes @MSHealthAus is driving to submit updates to the TGA for the Risk Management Plan. Dr Goldstone asks for everyone writing a submission to support changes to the RMP as part of the Senate Inquiry #AbortionEquity

[Cr Jamal Hakim (he/him) @thejamalhakim]

.@drcatmelville talks about the importance of embedded care and provision of long acting contraception and abortion no matter where a client shows up for care - primary, day hospital and tertiary hospitals - free and easy to access. #AbortionEquity

[Cr Jamal Hakim (he/him) @thejamalhakim]

Dr Syahir Soffi shares that universal access to abortion care is possible. It must be regardless of gestation and type of abortion, and is being delivered in NT where 75% of services are now Medication Abortion. #AbortionEquity

[Cr Jamal Hakim (he/him) @thejamalhakim]

.@LydiaMainey talks about the place that nurses play in delivering care. Nurses are integral to care and part of the embedded solution to Universal Access to Sexual Reproductive Health. Well said Lydia. #AbortionEquity
