Last day of #mentalhealth rotation for these fabulous UniMelb MDHS future doctors! It was a pleasure to return from maternity leave to teach one last rotation for the year. Thank you to @unimelb Department of Psychiatry for supporting the visibility of #motherhood . #MedTwitter

Took some soul searching to decide how best to express my opinion as someone who has seen both sides. But grateful for the opportunity to contribute 🙏

We need to improve things for young people experiencing #eatingdisorders

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

I urge you to look up how egg retrievals are done for IVF. Then remember that for 5 months 100s of women had the procedure w/o pain meds because a nurse was stealing them and replacing vials with saline. And Yale docs ignored it because they felt the women must be overreacting.

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.

When Channel 10 came to my home. Media skills is essential for the clinician. Our core business is education. What is important and what sells in the media may be different. Finding a way to sell what is important to the media is critical. If you can, get some media training.

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…

was trying to get a linkedin profile photo with AI editing & this is what it gave me 🤨

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…

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

.RANZCO Is it true that RANZCO excludes trainees on parental leave from being able to sit their exams? Does this not represent discrimination on the basis of being a parent? #medtwitter

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

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
