Proactive partnership: #CommunityControl success stories at Bulgarr Ngaru croakey.org/proactive-part… HT @ahmrc @timsenior @coopesdetat #OurHealthOurWay #COVID19
Wonderful seeing all the photos of people and place with this #CommunityControl success story, and an opportunity to reflect on how communities, services & health teams have responded to #COVID19
"Bulgarr Ngaru has not only managed to protect its people from the virus, but continued caring for patients – perhaps not quite in the usual way, but with the same ethos and commitment as ever.... #CommunityControl #OurHealthOurWay
For GP Dr Hannah Visser, it has been a powerful lesson in the value of collective action, and of coming together in unprecedented times for public health. “It has really shown that working as a team in a crisis situation works really well,” she says.

At @CroakeyNews we've been looking forward to the release of this report for a while now: Climate Health WA Inquiry: Final Report ww2.health.wa.gov.au/-/media/Corp/D… #ClimateCrisis #PublicHealth #AusPol
It comes in a very big week for #ClimateHealth news, as you can see from recent @CroakeyNews articles: croakey.org/category/globa…
To put the new report in context, it's worth re-reading our April 2019 coverage of WA's Sustainable Health Review, which led to the inquiry & report released today croakey.org/new-review-cal…

It would be unwise of the media to uncritically amplify @ScottMorrisonMP talking up the NSW response to #COVID19 as part of his attack on @DanielAndrewsMP et al & the Victorian response. For starters...
He is playing a short-term political game when the outcomes of the NSW response are still unfolding. Many in NSW must be anxious about the cases in healthcare workers at Sydney hospitals: abc.net.au/news/2020-09-0…
Would be interested to hear what public health people in NSW think of the PM's statements, given that the decision to keep NSW "open for business" is being driven by political & economic considerations. How much more difficult has this approach made the work of #publichealth?
