Thankyou to Christie for talking through some recent trends in complaints and AHPRA notifications for allied health professionals. Christie is the risk manager at Guild insurance and gives some key information for health professionals regarding the rise in complaints regarding professional behaviour, dress and communication with frustrated patients often saying they are ignored or not listened to...

A great reminder on the importance of communication and not to get complacent out there!

I thought I'd share some learnings taken from my own experience with the application process as well as the advice of some most excellent guests on the podcast...written applications for hospital and community jobs can be a sometimes frustrating process. It is made easier with a bit of planning prior to job season and of course always keeping in mind the person on the other side of your application...

A big thankyou to Chung for a great reflection here on physio after 6 years – Chung has taken the road less travelled and has private practise and aged care locum experience under his belt. He introduced me to the idea of locums in the beginning and is a friend I often catch up, compare notes and run over ideas with. Some great thoughts here on working in professional sport, longevity and the 4 day work week, best moments in physio and of course locums…

She has also been a clinical educator of final year physiotherapy students for the last 12 years in New Zealand and Australia.
