The Victorian Government has now had #electivesurgery restrictions in place for 118 days.

#ShowUsThePlanDan #SpringSt
Category 2 & category 3 essential surgery has been banned across the state for 21 days, with no roadmap for recommencement.
The Victorian Code Brown in public hospitals has been in place for 8 days.

It’s estimated by Government that it will last for 28-42 days.

The Code Brown does not apply to private hospitals, but the Government’s essential surgery lockdown does.
The essential surgery lockdown is a blunt tool, without nuance.

It is stopping healthcare workers who would otherwise be providing essential surgery from doing so.

If we fail to plan, we plan to fail.

Show us the plan, Dan.
Oh, is that the time?

The Victorian Government has now had #electivesurgery restrictions in place for 119 consecutive days.

And yet, there is still no plan for essential surgery to resume.

Today is the 120th consecutive day of #electivesurgery restrictions in Victoria. How did we get here?

On 25 March 2020 National Cabinet halted non urgent elective surgery on the advice of AHPPC

NB. Elective category 2 & 3 surgery is essential surgery. It diagnoses & it cures cancer. It treats disability, so people can return to walking, working, running & living. It is not optional surgery.

I’m operating this morning so may have to halt this tweet stream midstream but want to talk about My Health Record and #optoutMHR.
By way of disclosure, I was invited on an ADHA Committee about MyHR last year. It’s unpaid & I’ve never attended because I’m already fully booked with patients when they announce the meeting dates. Also, I’m an AMA Federal Councillor. The AMA is broadly in favour of a national
medical record, but I make these tweets as a private citizen & surgeon, not because I’m AMA affiliated. Also, I did a project on MyHR last year with non-directed funding from @avantmutual - a practice grant that supported a study into MyHR implementation in specialist practice.

When I joined the @amavic Board in 2017 it had more women than men.
The @amavic Board now has 3 women and 11 men, following the election of 6 new directors to the Board in the last 2 months – one woman and five men.
Last night three women and two men stood for three contested Board positions. One woman and two men were elected.
