This World Health Day is dedicated to celebrating the work of nurses and midwives around the world. 🌏
Throughout my career nurses and midwives have always played an integral part to looking after patients. Not only do they look after patients but they also look after us doctors too!

We can all do our part by slowing down spread if we practice social distancing. This means even if you’re out doing your exercises or getting the groceries please maintain a distance of 1.5m from each other. You could even turn it into a game like I do, think Temple Run and avoiding the ‘obstacles’. 🏃🏼♀️ Take care and stay healthy 😘
Happy Doctors’ Day 👩⚕️ To my colleagues over in America, I salute you. The 30th March was National Doctors’ day in the US.
It’s through times like the present that we should recognise and celebrate the amazing efforts of doctors and healthcare workers around the globe putting themselves forward for keeping us all safe and sound.
Thank you for the amazing contribution of healthcare professionals, past and present. It is an honour to be part of the team.
I was interviewed by Milla Med Talks about the different Intra-Uterine Devices (IUD) that are available as birth control options in Australia.
We discuss two long acting contraceptives which can be used whether or not you’ve had children, are reversible and require one treatment only. The first of which is the hormonal IUD, which in Australia is available as the Mirena. The second is the non-hormonal option, known more commonly as the Copper Coil.
Both these treatments are reversible and can be over 99% effective for birth control, but please note they do not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
