In countries like Aus and the US, an alarming number of nurses say they are considering leaving patient-facing nursing roles within 6-12 months.
McKinsey research indicates 15-30% of nursing time could be freed up, improving nursing and patient experience.

Husband already misses new Borgen, so he put the soundtrack on during our peaceful Sunday breakfast.
I feel an immediate urge to go and negotiate a multilateral agreement, or possibly visit Nørrebro for a vegan pizza

Today, as I celebrate my first mother’s day with my beautiful little boy, I think of all the bereaved mums out there - and am grateful for the news that more progress is being made in SIDS research ❤️

Incredibly sad news. Paul was one of the most inspiring leaders I have ever had the privilege of working with.

In Dec, Singapore will begin charging COVID patients “unvaccinated by choice” for hospital admissions
“Unvaccinated persons make up a sizeable majority of those who require [ICU] & disproportionately contribute to the strain on our healthcare resources”

The @SheRunsWA 2021 campaign school is up and running! We’ve got ~20 terrific young women who will be learning about pursuing a political career over the next 4 weeks
Today kicked off with @linessue and @PatrickGormanMP sharing their experiences at the coalface of #auspol
Best way to spend a Sunday - getting vaccine dose 1 done to generate some antibodies for me and my gestating foetus of 21 weeks 😊 Pfizer is OK in pregnancy!
Super efficient process at Perth’s Showgrounds, in and out in 35 mins #rollup4wa #COVIDVaccination #thankyouscience

Great results from Indonesian trial of World Mosquito Program @WMPglobal Wolbachia infection in mosquitos to reduce the burden of dengue fever
Potential game changer!

For a change, a feel-good story about a viral disease.
A decades-long effort to infuse mosquitoes with a virus-blocking microbe culminated in a trial where dengue incidence fell by 77% in one of the most dengue-prone cities around.
Just astonishing.

This is terrific. St V’s Indigenous Flexi-clinic in Sydney saw it go from worst in the state to the best in reducing DAMA from ED.
We can all do better in providing culturally appropriate care.

Good article tackling the eternal question: "What's really holding women back" in the workplace?
(spoiler alert...a "general culture of overwork" that hurts both men & women, and entrenches inequality - NOT a widely-perceived motivation differential 🤦♀️)

Great thread ⬇️ – at Perth, Western Australia
There is something funny happening with COVID hospitalizations
Proportion of COVID pts getting hospitalized falling
A lot
Just recently
My theory?
As hospitals fill up, bar for admission rising
A patient who might have been admitted 4 weeks ago may get sent home now

Great to see this write-up of @SheRunsWA! It was fantastic for our first cohort of fellows to meet Premier @MarkMcGowanMP yesterday.
I’m excited to see the changes our graduates will drive in their communities.

WA Government confirms King Leopold Ranges to be renamed the Wunaamin-Miliwundi Ranges - a combination of the Ngarinyin and Bunuba traditional names.
Great news.
