Cultural safety is more than taking a course on cultural sensitivity. It is about as a practitioner or researcher, understanding how your own culture imparts bias - Dr Carrie Bourassa, Scientific Director, College of Medicine @usask speaking at #hsr19@hsraanz#healthresearch

Evidence of efficacy unclear & unknown #AMR risks assoc with rifampicin/minocycline pockets for CIEDs. Antibiotic susceptibilities not reported for infections in Wrap-It trial including the bacteremias! Unblinded outcome assessment & unexplained crossover btw groups #AMS@NEJM
Hopefully our letter to the NEJM will get some attention. So much uncertainty regarding the efficacy of rifampicin/minocycline pockets for CIEDs, & future consequences re #AMR & costeffectiveness. #AMS#pacemaker#rifampicin#CIED@warnmorgs@Heartstarter https://t.co/FkBlnlxuRE
No surprise while Australia is run by climate-change deniers. ‘Coal boom’ announces the liberal-owned @australian ... ‘boom’ is right! Bang - there goes saving the climate & environment. Appalling & irresponsible politics #ClimateChange#PublicHealth#Adani
The rise of #AntibioticResistance
is threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases, resulting in prolonged illness, disability & death #StopDrugResistance

Antibiotic Awareness Week starts today. So many medical procedures are only possible because of antibiotics (e.g. surgery, chemotherapy), but because of antibiotic resistance we are facing a future without them #UseAntibioticsWithCare#ChoosingWisely#PublicHealth#AAW#AMR#AMS
Welcome to Antibiotic Awareness Week - a week to reflect on antimicrobial drugs as the precious resource that has enabled modern medicine. And what we all can do to prolong their effectiveness into the future #AAW#AMR#AMS#ChoosingWisely
