We need an informed, engaged and insightful debate about immigration policy. Knee-jerk reactions, inflammatory rhetoric & short-term political point-scoring shouldn’t be allowed to derail Australia’s long-term progress. Immigration policy is too important for that www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Prevention doesn’t need more projects. It needs a system that is conducive to make it work. Yet we continue to deliver prevention through a health system primarily designed to treat illness. alamyoosuff.substack.com/p/prevention...

Prevention Doesn’t Need More Projects. It Needs a Different Operating System
We know prevention works. The challenge is not finding more things to prevent — it is building a health system capable of delivering prevention.

Accountability is not measured in billions of dollars. It is measured in outcomes. More money alone will not save the health system. Sow us the outcomes, measure them publicly, and hold the system accountable for delivering them open.substack.com/pub/alamyoos...

My request to NSW Health Minister: show us the outcomes, measure them publicly, and hold the system accountable for delivering them
More money alone will not save the health system. Better outcomes will!

#RuralGeneralist is like a Swiss knife — able to morph into whatever the situation demands. It’s not multitasking for the sake of it; it’s connecting all parts of #ruralhealth care into one purpose @maritacowie.bsky.social omny.fm/shows/destin...

Let it die, just don’t be seen killing it: The silent policy behind rural procedural decline Rural hospitals are hollowing out — open in name, empty in service. We chase ‘system safety’ while communities left unsafe? @maritacowie.bsky.social @racgppresident.bsky.social @croakeynews.bsky.social

It seems like their nuclear policy has detonated right in their own hands—proof that poor planning can be more explosive than the weapons!!

The nation’s capital is short of GPs, imagine the plight of Rural Remote! Aus has to accept the fact that It cannot be self sufficient with GPs for the foreseeable future. Our strategy has to FOCUS on how BEST to manage it @racgppresident.bsky.social @maritacowie.bsky.social

Sadly, in hospitals I see many grounded astronauts and caged eagles. Specialists and clinicians who are gifted and trained to reach the stars but shackled by the burden of administration for which they were not trained for. Complete mismatch. Loss of purpose, value and training.

Popping up GP services in areas of market failure should be a collaboration between PHNs, Local Health Services & GPs. Define it as a service not a business @racgppresident.bsky.social @maritacowie.bsky.social

So many of my patients leave tertiary hospitals without understanding what was wrong or what was done. Plain language explanations are essential for continuity of care—and for patients to truly understand their health journey. #HealthLiteracy #PatientCare” @racgppresident.bsky.social
