@McGrathFdn nurses are on board with LeaN On! People with BC related #lymphoedema should not have to rely on unregulated social media pages or 'Dr Google' for info. I'm honoured to be a CI and thank the
@Flinders team for taking action. Project deets 👉https://t.co/CQeb2uavM9

❓ Would you recognise poor care if you saw it?
Think it’s obvious? Think again.

🩹 Our Harm Quiz puts you in the shoes of real-life scenarios where small actions can have a big impact.

💡 Test your knowledge. Challenge your assumptions.
👥 Then, share it with your team – because spotting harm early can change outcomes.
