How does a bureaucrat/health economist define #highvaluecare? Take studies of one disease & one intervention that show that, on average, the intervention doesn’t help. Assume it doesn’t work for anyone. Decide high value care involves eliminating that intervention from practice.

Saddened that our college has still not resolved this - I hoped that they would be a benchmark for trainee welfare and disappointed to see this is not the case. Fellow trainees please reach out for support 👇 1/2

(1/2) #Sexualharassment in the #workplace stems from acceptance of men showing aggression & #disrespect towards women. For some men, making jokes & comments that reinforce the idea that women should be less powerful than men is a way of gaining approval from their male peers

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

"So what is my role as a man in feminism?"
"Simply put, your role is to *listen* to women's concerns, challenge your *male privilege*, and hold other men *accountable*."

@TamePunk Violence Prevention Australia proudly supports Grace Tame @TamePunk against the backlash of cowardly newspaper character smears from a hypocritical media block, they are not power, just abuse the power they claim. Try to think carefully before you parrot a cruel editorial stance

When helping a survivor through a difficult time, it's important to listen without judging or giving advice: “I support you, and am always available if and when you are ready to talk.” This restores a sense of power. Be aware of your personal feelings & take care of yourself too.

Do behaviour change programs stop men being violent? Great article from @JewelTopsfield examining what has been achieved & what evidence is still lacking in Victoria in working with men who use family violence https://t.co/xGMqbem5Sa @NTVorg @GabbyWilliamsMP @CEONTVorg #RCFV5yrs

Just so we are all on the same page, ‘Glass houses’ in this context means ‘We should keep each other’s secrets about sexual harassment and sexual abuse in our respective workplaces’ yeah? That’s a very cool and normal thing for a Prime Minister to say to media live on television.
