Next year Australia is introducing a National Lung Cancer Screening Program. This program will use low-dose CT scans to find lung cancer early in people & reduce deaths. We are supporting writing the program guidelines & I am keen to hear from Mob.

@Imel96Melby Yes this is true, but then it can be easily disbanded with the next government or the one after that. Which is why constitutional recognition and change is so important.

You know there is a rural medical crisis when you ring another rural hospital to transfer a patient, and they refuse the patient, but offer you a job.

2 yrs ago, I posted a TikTok video about Pulse Oximeters. For decades, they haven't worked as well on darker skin tones. My video received over 200K views and started my "Racial Bias in Medicine" series.

Today a FDA advisory committee is finally convening to address the problem!

[Congress @CAACongress]

Keynote speaker, Congress CEO Donna Ah Chee: “The stories of people with lived experience of diabetes speak directly to the policy areas that need to change - for food security, Congress is calling on a 20% tax on unhealthy food, and subsidising healthy options.”

With all the injustices in Australian society right now, it feels good to share moments like these watching Aboriginal Elders and leaders send off the next generation of doctors. Class of 2022 looking at you to use this privilege and Dr title for positive change @UniMelbMDHS
