Dr Skye Kinder encouraging medical students to get involved in #ruralhealth advocacy as we all have lived experience of being in the medical pipeline as students and deserve a voice in the policy decisions that affect us! Couldn’t say it better myself! MDSC ACRRM RANZCP

It was an enormous pleasure to be part of today’s MDSC Panel at Marvel Stadium with Drs Millie Baker Lauren Downey, Edwina Goghlan & Dr Skye Kinder talking about #ruralhealth & what we can do to fix it. Agreed communities need more say in health planning. Mark Butler MP

The reversal of the RANZCO decision to exclude trainees on parental leave is welcomed. From a culture point of view though, an event like this should always prompt an organisation to consider how the decision came to be made in the first place. 🤔 #SystemicBias

I'm tired of people saying that the "children didn't see the abuse" or "they were too young to be effected" or "they were asleep." Children are harmed by perpetrators through multiple pathways. We need to end the myth of the child witness which tells us that abuse only harms

If anyone is thinking of a career in healthcare, please seriously consider psychiatry. Apart from being infinitely rewarding & intellectually stimulating; it’s busy. One clinic in Melbourne w/ three psychiatrists just received 500 referrals in June. Shortage, much? #psychtwitter

Pleased to write for MJA InSight+ alongside Dr Tahnee Bridson & Patrick McGorry, drawing attention to systems failings re: #eatingdisorders. These issues are amplified for patients, carers, & doctors who are living and working in #rural. #MedTwitter insightplus.mja.com.au/2023/26/doctor…

I think anyone working with eating disorders needs to see part of their role as being an advocate or even campaigner for their patients. Too often we’re met with blame &!closed doors, so having others push for the care we need can unburden us from part of the suffering involved.

Eating disorders sit outside of the normal medical treatment model, making access to treatment and care in Australia very difficult for patients and putting additional pressure on doctors ow.ly/2J3r50PcxhY Dr Skye Kinder Patrick McGorry Dr Tahnee Bridson
