This isn't the flex the WA Govt thinks this is.

It's a public declaration that despite years of boasting about budget surplus, the WA Govt either refuses to invest in equitable access to essential services such as emergency healthcare.

I'm currently undergoing the mammoth task of redesigning the entire curriculum 😅

The approach I've taken has been that students choose which format they prefer i.e. read this chapter or watch this video or listen to this podcast.

I'm currently trying to ensure all pre-learning is in bite sized chunks and presented in a range of modalities: short ilectures, readings, summary notes, audio and videos.

It's a bit more work creating the modules, but so far it seems to work well!

A big thanks to Naomi and Tracey from our school leadership for organising this.

Also a special shout out to my friend and colleague Jeremy for our (unplanned) matching #paramedic green outfits 😅

The highlight for me was an excellent presentation on an iSOLT project using short form podcasts to improve student engagement with clinical unit pre-learning materials. I'm very excited to follow this project!

This is a great start, now we just need the federal government to follow suit and make Medicare/PBS changes.

I'm just glad everyone looks to be finding their way here. At one point I was getting worried LinkedIn was the new Twitter and that wasn't a future I was okay with 😬

An excellent paper indeed!

Highlighting how important compassion is to the therapeutic patient-clinician relationship.

It turns out, that "excellent" clinician who can't talk to people (we all know one) isn't that excellent after all!

This is great.

Maybe it will remind me that often, replying the same day is not a wise idea on my behalf 😅
