Really productive @SAHealth workshops on the evolving State Health Coordination Centre - great panel Q&A with @SA_Ambulance, @MedSTAR_SA & @RoyalFlyingDoc SA/NT sharing insights, challenges and opportunities in improving our patient journeys together with our LHN partners.
@DocUnited@Our_DA Only to visit my family, otherwise, quite happy with 24/7 electricity and essential services. It was an apartheid process because it stopped anti-apartheid activists who fled for their safety (we knew a few) from having a sayโฆ Somewhat comical that ANC would do the same.
Diagnosed with a brain injury at birth, it was no certainty that Angus Hincksman would walk in his life. He now prepares to become only the third Aussie with cerebral palsy to go sub-4 over 1500m this weekend ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฆ

@Straps_01 @CentralAdlLHN@RobElliott_SA Fifty shades ๐๐๐ how did I not know about that one?!โฆ Will forever be called that from now!! Best nickname ever ๐๐
@KangarooBeach@Qantas Few years ago I offered to help and the only Dr on the long haul flight was more than happy I did (Plastics Consultant and Aeromedical Retrieval Nurse) just because you arenโt a Dr doesnโt mean you shouldnโt offer to help - They asked for anyone with medical training - ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Similar thing happened to a kid who trains with @AHincksmanโฆ got to Europe for the frame running championships with a broke wheelchair and no running frameโฆ or bags.
A mate arrived in Atlanta a week ago. No race chair. No day chair. That means no life for the week. No we canโt hire a new day chair. We sit on the bed. We get carried to the dunny. We wait for an airline to give us our life back. Itโs a nightmare to land into.
"What we are getting sick and tired of is having to speak with families at the bedside and dealing with the regret of not being fully vaccinated," - Royal Adelaide ICU's @M_Plums. Health authorities are again pleading with all South Australians to get a third COVID shot. #7NEWS
@drbillgriggs@kjdelay1 Donโt be cynical there are other people remembering your good workโฆ there are many of us nurses who will never forget!!!
Dr Griggs you are one we remember well, the extent you went to for anyone that needed your care was outstanding ๐
Hand picked by the legendary @brucemcavaney7 himself, the Performance of the Year goes to @madiderozario.
Madi won gold in the women's marathon T54 by the smallest of margins to cement her place in Paralympic folklore. #ThisIsAthletics
