The #RANZCP2022 Congress will hear opening address by The Hon. Bronnie Taylor MLC @bronnietaylor, Minister for Mental Health in NSW.
Acknowledges the impacts of the past few years - Catastrophic fires of 2019/2020 damaged national psyche, communities have become disconnected during pandemic, and then suffered again during recent floods - @bronnietaylor #RANZCP2022
Wanted policies that had demonstrated evidence & also developed by people in the community - @bronnietaylor #RANZCP2022
We also have to talk about the "elephant in the room" and that's workforce. Extra challenges are seen in rural, remote and regional areas. @bronnietaylor #RANZCP2022
Telehealth has been instrumental in overcoming some of the challenges over the past few years - @bronnietaylor says. #RANZCP2022
Not diminishing the need for face-to-face healthcare, @bronnietaylor says, but we can't allow virtual health to be seen as a second rate model of healthcare. #RANZCP2022
Finishes off with a thanks to healthcare workers working in the #mentalhealth space - @bronnietaylor looks forward to a time when health is not politicised. #RANZCP2022
