Brilliant initiative led by Dr Loren Sher @northernhealth_ and PhD candidate @LTUresearchers @latrobenews . 3 in 4 people did not need to go straight to hospital. So successful, it’s now State-wide. Come join our team as a postdoc (full time, ongoing!) tinyurl.com/3hs5knkn

In an Australian first, all Victorians can now access urgent medical care from their own home. A trial of a virtual emergency department at the Northern Hospital is being expanded statewide. 7NEWS.com.au @northernhealth_ @ChristieCooper7 #7NEWS

I have not seen any credible evidence a 50% vaccination rate (even 50% fully vaccinated) would be sufficient to safely ease restrictions without a huge upsurge in cases. Is this a typo? Please release data/modelling. And expected hospitalisations/deaths. smh.com.au/politics/nsw/bere…

We’re so grateful for the effort and support from leaders at the Australian Muslim Social Services Agency and to everyone who has donated goods to North Melbourne residents in hard lockdown.

Thanks for kind words let’s now make a difference #LowBackPain
Fantastic keynote by @RachelleBuchbin on the #lancet LBP series - 'We should be focusing on what we know and implementing this' Implementation research is essential, we need to get funders to see this and fund this better. #backpainforum #ifbnp2019

What would it be like if health care were designed by patients? If health care leaders were selected by patients? And if health organizations were designed by patients?buff.ly/2ZFnI8b

Great explanation of the potential harms and relatively small benefit of screening mammograms @wiserhealthcare
Balanced health information – an unrealistic dream? Could we strive for more of this kind of communication (video below) and abandon the "risk reduced by 20%" BS medicine? Lazris & Rifkin's Risk-Benefit Characterization Theater youtu.be/UZlY6Q4m-MM käyttäjältä @YouTube

YES, with millions lost to low-value care. Here's our analyses for 4 PHI funds representing approx 68% of Australian PHI policy holders. Available in the appendix of the @PHA_Healthcare pre-budget submission, at approx page 116 (of 168). @ChooseWiselyAU privatehealthcareaustralia.o…

From the US where I suspect waste is a bigger problem than here, but should Private insurers be able to use similar waste identification techniques and policies here? healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377…
