During the holiday season, Pete and the team from Talking HealthTech are taking a well earned break, so while they're away, the hosts of various shows from within the Talking HealthTech Podcast Network are sharing some of their favourite episodes from their own podcasts!

This episode is brought to you by Victoria Betton from Digital Ecology Podcast.

About the Digital Ecology Podcast

The Digital Ecology podcast creates a window into the backstory of technology adoption in the UK’s healthcare system. Through interviews with experts in the field, we shine a light on the inner workings of digital health and uncover a world of complexity and challenge. We are in the foothills of technology adoption, where the hype doesn’t always match the reality.

About the Episode

In this episode of Digital Ecology, I speak with guest Jo Robinson, Professor and Head of Suicide Research at Orygen, a leading youth mental health service in Melbourne, Australia. Jo Robinson leads research programs on suicide prevention, specifically focusing on reducing suicide risk among young people.

Our conversation centres around Jo's work with the CHATsafe intervention, a project focused on safe online communication about suicide and self-harm. Two pilot studies were conducted to test the effectiveness of the intervention, with the first study assessing young people's confidence, skills, and willingness to communicate about suicide online, as well as adherence to CHATsafe guidelines.

Results from the initial campaign were promising, showing that the intervention was safe, feasible, and effective in increasing young people's confidence and willingness to intervene against suicide online. A second study targeted individuals who were bereaved by or exposed to suicide, producing similar positive results and further confirming the safety, feasibility, and potential effectiveness of CHATsafe.

At the time of recording, a randomised control trial is underway to test the universal campaign, with the goal of providing care and support to young people in the environment where they already spend time, potentially overcoming barriers to seeking professional help.

One of the key aspects of Jo's work is the emphasis on co-design and youth participation. Bespoke co-design workshops were conducted to ensure that the content of the CHATsafe guidelines meets the specific needs of different subpopulations, including LGBTQIA+ youth, South Sudanese communities, and Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander groups.

The development of the guidelines involved input from young people from the beginning, and the content was co-designed with their input. The resources aim to educate adults about online safety tools and functionality, empowering them to support young people in having safe conversations about suicide.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the effectiveness of social media as a tool for mental health support, the need for investment in mental health services, and the importance of addressing gaps between awareness campaigns and available care. We also touch on the challenges regarding access to healthcare for mental health and suicide prevention in Australia and the UK, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Join me and Jo Robinson in this episode as they delve into the world of digital mental health interventions and explore the potential for social media to play a role in suicide prevention among young people.

About the Episode

In this episode of the Creative Careers in Medicine podcast, Dr Elise Putt speaks with Dr Ben Bravery, where he shares his experiences and insights that will resonate with both healthcare professionals and those with their own lived experience as a patient through the healthcare system.

Ben starts by discussing his observations of the behaviour among junior doctors, senior doctors, and nurses during his time on the wards, which led to him writing articles published in reputable outlets like ABC and The Guardian. As he embarked on his internship in oncology, he reflected on his aspiration to become an oncologist and his evolving understanding of medicine and being a patient.

Drawing from his personal experiences as a patient, Ben shares his struggles to navigate the healthcare system, feeling a lack of agency, and encountering difficulties in understanding technical concepts. These experiences motivated him to address the dissatisfaction felt by both doctors and patients, leading him to write the book "The Patient Doctor" and advocate for a more compassionate and patient-centred approach to healthcare.

During the conversation, Ben opens up about his own health journey, sharing the anxiety he felt before his colonoscopy and the shocking discovery of a large ulcerated lesion. He candidly discusses the challenges and setbacks he faced during his recovery, including feeling miserable and forgotten in the hospital, and the distressing threat of having a tube inserted due to troubles eating.

Transitioning to his career choices, Ben explores his unique path from initially working in a department focused on conservation and animal protection to joining Questacon's science circus, and subsequently becoming a youth ambassador in China. Through these experiences, he developed a strong interest in patient safety, patient advocacy, clinician well-being, system redesign, and quality improvement.

To wrap up the episode, Ben highlights the importance of understanding the individuality and complexity of patients, as well as the need for doctors to prioritise their own well-being. He shares his passion for making a positive impact on people's lives, changing perspectives on illness, and reshaping the healthcare system.

About the Episode

In this episode of Medicubes, join Ben Ryan and Kelly Chard as they discuss the intricacies of payroll tax for GP clinics.

They cover how payroll tax affects medical practices in Australia and the recent crackdown by revenue offices on non-compliant practices. Hear real-world cases highlighting the importance of properly classifying doctors to not run into payroll tax pain later down the line.

Key Takeaways:

• Payroll tax is a state-based tax administered by each state's revenue office, not the ATO (Australian Taxation Office)
• Revenue offices are actively cracking down on medical practices that have been non-compliant with payroll tax regulations.
• Recent cases involving Optical Superstore and Thomas and Naaz have brought attention to the issue of properly classifying doctors and patients under the Payroll Tax Act.
• Medical practices need to consider payroll tax when dealing with doctors and patients and seek advice from experienced professionals.
• It is essential for medical practices to have conversations with knowledgeable professionals who specialise in both accounting and legal aspects of the medical industry.
• Updating bank accounts without considering the wider plan will not fix any existing payroll tax issues.
• Collaborating with legal advisors and experts is crucial to ensure operational changes align with legal advice.
• Understanding the business structure, evaluating day-to-day operations, and seeking professional advice are the first steps in managing payroll tax risks.

Remember this episode is not professional advice in any way. Please seek your own accounting and legal advice taking into account your own unique circumstances.

About Digital Ecology:

The Digital Ecology podcast creates a window into the backstory of technology adoption in the UK’s healthcare system. Through interviews with experts in the field, we shine a light on the inner workings of digital health and uncover a world of complexity and challenge. We are in the foothills of technology adoption, where the hype doesn’t always match the reality.

About This Episode:

In the first of my second series of the Digital Ecology podcast I host a panel conversation about the role of simulation in healthcare professional training and how it applies to all stages of design, development and implementation of digital technologies in the NHS.

I'm joined by James Woollard, a child psychiatrist and chief clinical information officer along with Wendy Chapman and Kit Huckvale from the University of Melbourne who run an immersive simulation space.

We chat about the role of simulation in mitigating risk of harm when implementing digital health interventions and in working out unintended consequences of how a technology might work in practice. Simulation has a role in assessing complexity - taking into account the technology itself, environment, culture, people, process and how data works. We discuss real life examples of simulation in practice and the groundbreaking Validitron at the University of Melbourne - how it works with technology companies and researchers - bridging the gap between implementation and evidence generation. Simulating common scenarios can assist in exploring what could go wrong, reducing the cost of failure and improving uptake as well as the peripheral factors such as devices and connectivity.
