Evidence suggests gloves aren't routinely needed for injections, yet practice varies widely. Our review highlights the need for clear, consistent, evidence-based guidance to support safe sustainable practice 👋💉

“...take a book, leave a book, share a book”. Or, just decompress, because books don't judge. It's lovely to see more of these spaces in hospitals as we start to recognise their importance- it can't all be hustle and bustle and efficiency. #MedTwitter

Standing up for childhood would be ending poverty, raising income supports, making *all* healthcare free and accessible, mental health care for all, affordable and secure housing tor everyone, funding public education fully, ending discrimination, ensuring economic justice…
ALT Opinion Social media As the world watches, Australia stands up for childhood Decisive regulation of social media is akin to the enfranchisement of women as a piece of revolutionary social policy reform. Peter Hartcher Political and international editor

Social cohesion Oz is fraying. Not because of immigration. Social cohesion is eroding because of increasing inequality. Fear results. Hope must be restored for social cohesion to build. But hope is dead if uncertainty reigns. Uncertainty ends when the future feels assured.
The term social cohesion has been said A LOT over the last few days. Most people using the term don’t know what it actually means. It’s not about assimilation or multiculturalism. It’s much broader, encapsulating class, social capital and inequality. abc.net.au/religion/andrew-j…
ALT belonging (including pride in Australia and the importance of maintaining Australian culture and way of life); worth (sense of financial satisfaction); social justice and equity (fairness of and trust in government); participation (especially in political life, including voting); and acceptance and rejection, and the legitimacy of the system (especially in relation to immigration).

Latest @ICNurses statement on Gaza #HumanitarianCrisis Reports we received this week from #nurses on the ground working for a range of organisations are consistent with aid agencies and @WHO descriptions of a catastrophic humanitarian situation.
The @WHO has reported “mass starvation” and a “deadly surge in malnutrition-related deaths” caused by aid blockades, with a quarter of #Gaza’s population facing famine-like conditions, at least three quarters showing “Emergency” or “Catastrophic” levels of food deprivation, and 95% of households facing severe water shortages.

ABC news story today about low influenza vaccination rates in Australia and the impact of this disease. Early reporting made it seem like the only groups for whom it's free are kids and those >65yrs. Actual groups here:
