Dennis “Moppy” Conlon from the institute for urban indigenous health with the topic Getting Deadly. #DFTB22
Gentle reminder that Welcomes to and Acknowledgements of Country not just political nicety - very important culture for indigenous peoples.
6 different organisations in SE Qld, all providing acute care, not getting to the root of the problems. Decided to form a network to achieve improvements. Took strong leadership to guide process.
Great to hear a successful story about creating a new model of care.
BTW - for those of you who don’t watch Little J and Big Cuz religiously like me, “deadly” means “good” in the local lingo. This talk is all about getting better. Wicked, eh?!
Great results from the birthing in our community project.
Take home messages:
- ATSI healthcare needs to be provided in an ATSI appropriate way
- Identity - know who you are, know what you can offer our clients (Aunties will see straight through you if you don’t know who you are!) #DFTB22
