@McGrathFdn nurses are on board with LeaN On! People with BC related #lymphoedema should not have to rely on unregulated social media pages or 'Dr Google' for info. I'm honoured to be a CI and thank the
@Flinders team for taking action. Project deets 👉news.flinders.edu.au/blog/20…

❓ Would you recognise poor care if you saw it?
Think it’s obvious? Think again.
🩹 Our Harm Quiz puts you in the shoes of real-life scenarios where small actions can have a big impact.
💡 Test your knowledge. Challenge your assumptions.
👥 Then, share it with your team – because spotting harm early can change outcomes.

I just watched you on ABC Breakfast and wanted to send my best to you and your loved ones. I had the opportunity to briefly speak to you in Adelaide at the Australian of the Year Luncheon (we bumped into each other on the way to the restrooms!) Thank you for all you are doing.💙
