HPG ENGAGE - The Podcast

Mental health and mental wealth is a conversation that should always be talked about. This is why we sat down with Kaday Kamara, a Mental Health Clinician working at St. Vincent Hospital to find out about her experience working within the space.

We explore her career progression and the reasons she decided to become a nurse and in particular, one that specialises in Mental Health.

What The Health is going on?

The world as we know is constantly changing and that too is the same when it comes to our healthcare industry.

Technology in healthcare and our access to information is right at our fingertips. We are now, more than ever, able to research and learn things about our bodies and the medical industry that we could not have 10, 15 or 20 years ago.

But what can we do better? How can we improve communication across all sectors?

Emily Casey, founder of What The Health and Venture Capitalist gives us an insight into the world of HealthTech! We even cover her unorthodox career path and why she chose the path that she did.

"I started asking, what else is out there? What’s going on?

And then, once you open that door, once that Pandora box is open, you can’t unsee that…"

How are we combating the major world issue of osteoarthritis?

In episode 17 of HPG Engage, we sit down with Dr Jillian Eyles, BAppSc Physiotherapy, Doctor of Philosophy and Research Fellow at Kolling Institute of Medical Research.

We delve into her career, right from the beginning when she was heavily involved in spinal cord injury, how she began her research in Osteoarthritis and the importance of bridging the gap between GPs and newfound research.

We cover the need and importance of philanthropy.

Just like many others, the process of medical research can be difficult and there can also be many barriers to success, one of those being lack of funding. The North Foundation plays an important role in assisting Reach Fellows like Dr Jillian Eyles in raising money for their research.

​WELCOME BACK WITH ANOTHER EPISODE OF HPG ENGAGE.

On today's podcast, we speak with Professor Manuela Ferreira, a Professor of Musculoskeletal Health, NHMRC Leader Fellow.

In this episode, we delve into Professor Ferreira's career. Going all the way back to her childhood and what led her to study physiotherapy in Brazil and then eventually move to Sydney to continue her studies.

Professor Ferreira specialises in the research of Chronic Back Pain and in this episode we speak about her research, surgical trials, and what we can do on a day to day to improve our health.

With everything in life, there are always roadblocks and challenges so it was also important for us to speak about the experiences of being a woman in research as well as the need for funding in order for research to continue.

If you would like more information on how you can assist in research funding, please reach out to the North Foundation - https://northfoundation.org.au
