I wrote this for @GuardianAus today on how, as normality finally inches ever closer for Australia, our vaccination successes aren’t equally distributed across society at the expense of the most vulnerable & so why opportunistic vaccination is our best shot ↓

It’s not enough to cross our fingers and hope Australians gets vaccinated. We have to go where people are | Sarah Simons #Echobox=1634410899" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Yesterday the ACT became the first Aust jurisdiction to offer universal access to free abortions. This new article shows unintended pregnancy is "disproportionally experienced by women with structural disadvantages and exposure to sexual coercion." bit.ly/40wbltU

With more than 50 per cent of female surgeons reporting harassment or sexist abuse, is this a #MeToo moment for the health service? #Echobox=1680939491" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.co.uk/article/sexism…

@DianaRyall 21 public hospitals in Australia are run by Catholic Health and will not offer reproductive health care. This is completely unacceptable. All public hospitals should provide all legal health services.

Reproductive health equity - specifically making abortion & miscarriage care safe, easy and accessible - is an overdue and hugely important topic of conversation this #IWD2023. Amazing work @ellierjohnson #AbortionIsHealthcare

“This points to the notion of ‘lifestyle drift,’ a term coined to describe the tendency for policy to start off recognising the need for action on upstream political and social determinants of health inequities only to drift downstream to focus largely on individual behaviours”
Mark Robinson@MarkRobinson_Oz

New editorial by Prof James Smith @Flinders and I in @HealthProm_J_Au We argue that the ubiquitous use of the word 'lifestyle' perpetuates the zombie hypothesis that improving the public’s health is primarily a personal responsibility onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

This week in 1951, Henrietta Lacks died from cervical cancer. She is often remembered as the source of the "immortal" HeLa cell line, or as a symbol of grave racial injustice. Who was Henrietta Lacks?

It was unexpectedly delightful to receive my AFPHM Fellowship and the 2020 Sue Morey Medal at the @TheRACP convocation last weekend. I felt v grateful to share this moment with my family, without whom none of this would ever have happened!

I spend most of my time clinically at the moment, so it has been refreshing and rejuvenating to spend this week immersing myself in the #publichealth world!

On this overdose awareness day, it’s timely that the coroner just released data showing that fatal opioid overdoses in Yarra have reduced 60% since 2018 when the MSIR opened. @NRCHaus #IOAD2022
