In countries like Aus and the US, an alarming number of nurses say they are considering leaving patient-facing nursing roles within 6-12 months.
McKinsey research indicates 15-30% of nursing time could be freed up, improving nursing and patient experience.

@criminographer We had some lovely baby friendly lunches and dinners at Bistro C, Sails and El Capitano when we were there with our bub who was just a bit younger than Noosa baby at the time! It was beautiful. Enjoy every moment 💙

@criminographer Oh gosh that’s so tough. If all else fails…you can get some saganaki delivered from Stalactites at any time of the night. Won’t help with the screaming, but at least you’ll be getting to experience an iconic Melbourne dining experience while you wait for the jetlag to pass 🙃

Cate and Nicole: A truly moving tribute to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration's strict regulation of SPF products.

@criminographer We just did this flight to Europe and back with our 10mo - some airlines will let you book a bassinet eg emirates, Singapore. But our baby slept on us despite this 🙃

@MyaCubitt I would argue there are some benefits - e.g., staying more connected and current in public practice, which has flow on benefits for patients in private?

But many docs have 0.1-0.2 appts at multiple public hospitals which really isn’t efficient, and not much upside

@markreedwa Unacceptable!! Erasing our childhoods 😱

GPs are said to have a "vested interest" in increasing their role in MH. Here's the facts. We represent 3% of the total MH budget. We see most of the patients. We cost 1/4 cost of psychiatrist per min. We earn 3x more doing flu vax per min. Why does increasing MH benefit me?

1/ Why ATAGI's advice today regarding COVID vaccines in 6mo - 5yo is incredibly bad comms and will certainly come back to haunt them when they inevitably want ALL 6mo - 5yo to be vaccinated. 🧵

Husband already misses new Borgen, so he put the soundtrack on during our peaceful Sunday breakfast.

I feel an immediate urge to go and negotiate a multilateral agreement, or possibly visit Nørrebro for a vegan pizza

Looks like the US may imminently approve and roll out paediatric mRNA COVID vaccines for <5s

@TGAgovau any indication on timeline here in Australia?

@drruthmitchell Very interesting! Where did you get your monitor from? 😊

I have been in the papers a lot this week, but this one is particularly special to me: the first Noongar-English bilingual edition of The West Australian for Reconciliation Week.

Maybe we could keep/reinstate mask mandates for a bit while we figure out this liver failure issue that’s mostly affecting infants and toddlers, our littlest littles, a group that has literally no way of personal responsibility-ing their way through this? Just a thought.

Today, as I celebrate my first mother’s day with my beautiful little boy, I think of all the bereaved mums out there - and am grateful for the news that more progress is being made in SIDS research ❤️

@LachieMiles @cmiles3vb Tell the other one that his jacket is definitely in breach of some sort of international law

Incredibly sad news. Paul was one of the most inspiring leaders I have ever had the privilege of working with.

The global health community is poorer for his loss.

[Partners In Health @PIH]

Partners In Health announced that its founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, unexpectedly passed away today in his sleep while in Rwanda.

Dr. Farmer was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Didi Bertrand Farmer, and their three children.
