For our 100th episode, a real treat: we speak with the inspirational Professor Fiona Wood AM, who with research partner Marie Stoner invented spray-on skin, ‘ReCell', made famous after the Bali Bombings, for which she was made Australian of the Year in 2005. Growing up in the north of England, the daughter of a fifth-generation coalminer, the self-confessed “sporty nerd” moved to London to study medicine. Emigrating to Western Australia in the '80s, she became the state's first female plastic surgeon, and in the 1990s pioneered the ReCell technology that would greatly reduce permanent scarring in burns victims. She continues to work perfecting the technique, as director of the Royal Perth Hospital burns unit and the Western Australia Burns Service, and inspire the next generation of innovators. “ It's hard. It's a long road. So you have to have that passion and belief. So it's really worth interrogating that idea, roughing it up a bit, moulding it, shaping it, so that when you go to the table, you know it inside out, and you believe in it…” ~ Fiona Wood.

The imagery around pregnancy is often of glowing women doing yoga with calm expressions. For many women through it can be a time of anxiety about the birth, the baby, the future. All perfectly natural but it can be hard to ask for or access help. A new book ‘Break Free From Maternal Anxiety' A self-help Guide for Pregnancy, Birth and the First Postnatal Year' offers CBT-based support. One of the authors Dr Catherine Green joins Emma Barnett to share professional and personal experience. We hear from Professor Fiona Wood a world leading burns specialist the reluctant subject of a new book ‘Under Her Skin'. She was the first female plastic surgeon in Western Australia (in 1991) and has been named Australia's Most Trusted Person and National Living Treasure becoming a household name after she led a team that helped saved the lives of people injured in the Bali bombing. Women continue to lead protests in Iran. But many Iranians say speaking out against the regime brings real risks. Now according to State Media a court in Iran has issued the first death sentence to a person arrested for taking part. We get the latest from Faranak Amidi the BBC's Near East Women's Affairs Reporter and Rushanara Ali the Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Bow about what she wants the UK Government to do. A tribute to Sue Baker one of the original members of the Top Gear team who's died.

Bali bombings survivor and inspirational speaker Phil Britten lost seven friends in the attack while suffering burns to 60 per cent of his body. The then 22-year-old was in Bali celebrating a grand final win with his teammates from the Kingsley Football Club when the attack happened on October 12, 2002. Britten tells Millsy at Midday host Steve Mills the fallout from bombings was beginning to weigh him down, before a speaking engagement at a Lions club meeting went a long way to changing his life. Britten also tells Millsy how the work of burns specialist Fiona Wood on his body saved his life and also helped Wood continue her research into her groundbreaking work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The English-born plastic surgeon truly is a remarkable human. Professor Fiona Wood played a massive part in helping those many people affected by the terror of the Bali bombings. 20 years on, Fiona recalls her many experiences as well as what she is doing now as she continues an inspiring life.

Nearly two decades ago, Professor Fiona Wood was the face of Australia's response to the Bali bombings – the single largest loss of life due to an act of terror in our national history. The plastic and reconstructive surgeon was the co-creator of a revolutionary burns treatment known as spray-on skin, which helped save the lives of many Bali bombings victims. This October 12 will mark the 20-year anniversary of those attacks. In the intervening years, Wood has continued to drive groundbreaking research into burns trauma, developing a cream to take away scars, 3D skin printing and an "iKnife" that can tell the difference between living and dead skin cells. “Accidents happen and lives change in an instant," Wood tells Amanda Hooton on this episode of Good Weekend Talks. "To be able to do this better, to reduce that suffering, remains my passion.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you lived through a time when everyone does their very best?”. This is the question asked by Dr Fiona Wood - renowned burns specialist - as she tells us what it was like to take care of those who were injured. We also hear from Indonesian medical staff on their tireless work during the aftermath, the close ties that were forged between countries and the medical innovations that came from destruction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Having braved the wilds of Scotland and the woes of Covid, we are back with a brand new Flat Chat Wrap podcast, with our usual mixture of optimism and, it must be said, the occasional bout of weary skepticism. The optimism stems from the plans for a new high-end apartment block that will bring owners together with key worker in affordable rentals, plus some social housing. And the remarkable thing about this is that the purchasers of apartments costing up to $2.4m actually like the ides of having a broad democratic spread among their neighbours. The skepticism comes from wondering what the government is going to do about rental affordability and availability when they are so desperately keen not to do anything about holiday rentals having taken over what should be residential homes.   And then we have the woman in a small apartment block whose racist neighbour is just making up the rules as he goes – aided and abetted by absentee owners and a supine strata manager – including banning her from common property.  That's all in this week's refreshed and renewed podcast. TRANSCRIPT IN FULL Jimmy  00:00 We're back, after a couple of weeks' break while I was away, and while we were doing the 'Lawyer in the Hot Seat' thing. Sue  00:07 And then when you came back, you brought a special souvenir for me; two souvenirs. One was a really nice pair of pyjamas, so thank you for that, and the other one was a dose of Scottish COVID! Jimmy  00:17 Yes, it's a very special Scottish COVID. Deep-fried COVID. Sue  00:23 So my pleasure at seeing you back was tempered somewhat, by both of us then falling ill. Jimmy  00:28 Yes. At one point earlier this year in Scotland, one person in 11 was infected with COVID. If I had known that, I would never have gone over there! And we are in a very unusual position for us, this week. Sue  00:45 What's that? Jimmy  00:45 You've just finished writing a book? Sue  00:48 Yes. Jimmy  00:48 Which means for the first time that I can remember, you are not in the middle of writing a book, because they've all overlapped. You know, you had 'Elizabeth & Elizabeth,' and then you had 'Daughter of the River Country,' and then you had 'Mary Mary.' Oh sorry, the Fiona Wood biography, which is coming out... Sue  01:07 In September, I think, yes. It's weird, isn't it? I mean, it's so strange, because all the time you're on a mad deadline and you're working and you're thinking "oh my god, I wish I didn't have these books to write.' You think it's going to be so wonderful when you don't have them and and as soon as you don't have them, I start getting really fidgety and thinking "oh, my god, what am I going to do with my life?" Jimmy  01:08 You'll think of something. Sue  01:31 Yes. I wrote the words 'the end' today, which is my favourite part of writing a book, but I still need to go through the book and just trim it up and kind of refine it a little bit, I think. Jimmy  01:43 The essence of good writing is rewriting. Sue  01:45 Yes, but hopefully not too much rewriting! Jimmy  01:49 Okay, now back to our proper job, which is this podcast. I'm Jimmy Thomson, I write the Flat Chat column for the Australian Financial Review. Sue  01:58 And I'm Sue Williams and I write about property for Domain. Jimmy  02:00 And this is the Flat Chat Wrap. [Music] Jimmy One of the features on the Flat Chat website at the moment, is something that you wrote for The Sydney Morning Herald, about a development in Wollongong. Sue  02:26 Yes, that was fascinating. I mean, I went there just before you came home and made me sick, Jimmy. Jimmy  02:33 Can we just get over it? Sue  02:35 Okay. So I went down to Wollongong. I went to the breaking ground ceremony and it was the start of a new fabulous luxury apartment building. But it was a very, very different apartment building.

Inventor of Cellular Spray on Skin: Dr Fiona Wood Dr Wood, a plastic surgeon, invented cellular spray on skin for burns victims. We discuss how this incredible product idea was conceived through to production. The highlight of this interviewer is self awareness. Dr Wood a researcher and plastic surgeon conceived the idea for this life changing invention BUT to raise funding to make this idea into a reality, you'll hear how she raised money (including lamington drives) BUT once spray on screen was created, it didn't fly off the shelves! And that's the AH HA of this interview. Her self-awarenss of knowing to stick to plastic surgery and research and give marketing and sales of the product to someone else, is what makes her a sought after surgeon and is given a platform very few surgeons have.

This week the pod takes a deep dive into the murky waters of fire safety, how we ignore it at our considerable peril and how this essential part of our strata lives is ripe for exploitation by unscrupulous contractors. This discussion was prompted partly by the terrible fire in New York a couple of weeks ago when, it seems, doors left open during a relatively small fire allowed smoke to spread through the building, killing 17 people by asphyxiation. And we were also drawn to a Forum discussion about how buildings can pass fire inspections for years, then suddenly find that a new company has discovered a raft of flaws. And guess who's ready to fix them (often at considerable expense). On the topic of fires, we get a sneak preview of Sue's upcoming biography of Dr Fiona Wood, who invented spray-on skin which is extensively used on burns victims. We also look at conflicting advice between Fair Trading and the Department of Planning on who is allowed to let their apartments on Airbnb and Stayz etc, and when. And we try to get to the bottom of how some properties are exempt from having to put a short-term letting registration number on their listings. All that, and more on the Flat Chat Wrap.  Jimmy  00:00 We're going back a couple of weeks today on the podcast, because there's a story that we hadn't really addressed, in full. I mentioned it in passing in last week's forum on the website. It's about the fire on January 9 or 10th, in the Bronx, in New York. Sue  00:20 Oh yes, that was horrible. Jimmy  00:23 So, we're going to talk about that and, we're going to talk about fire safety (in general), in Australian apartments. And, we're going to have a look at some confusing stuff about Airbnb, so that's a lot to talk about... We better get on with it. I'm Jimmy Thomson, I write the Flat Chat column for the Australian Financial Review. Sue  00:46 And I'm Sue Williams and I write about property for Domain. Jimmy  00:48 And this is the Flat Chat Wrap. [MUSIC] Jimmy Okay, that terrible fire in the Bronx... I think the latest figure is 17 deaths, including 8 children. Sue  01:13 Oh, how horrible! Jimmy  01:14 The terrible thing about it is that it seems like most of the people died from smoke inhalation. This is an old building; 19 stories. All the fire escapes are internal. You know, in a lot of these New York apartment blocks (the older ones), you see the fire escape is on the outside and that's the city regulations, but apparently, this was a federal building, so they didn't have to abide by city ordinances and so, all the fire escapes are internal. It sounds like smoke from a fire on the second floor, just went straight up into the fire escapes and... Sue  01:57 Oh, how horrible! So, people had no way of getting out? Jimmy  01:59 No, I mean, some were rescued by getting out the windows with fire trucks with ladders, but even the firemen (and women), who were going into the building; it was so bad, they were running out of oxygen, as they went in to try and rescue people Sue  02:15 Because it kind of sealed all the smoke inside. Jimmy  02:18 It kind of just acted like big chimneys and there's been some accusations of victim -blaming, but it sounds like the fire started in the bedroom with a space heater that malfunctioned. The parent in that apartment, grabbed his kids and ran out and the door to the apartment didn't shut behind him. Sue  02:41 It wasn't a proper fire door, because most fire doors have to swing shut, don't they? Jimmy  02:45 Well, we have them on all our apartments; they have that big sort of spring thing attached, which pushes the door closed and if they're not adjusted properly, the door just slams. A lot of people either adjust them to not slam, or disconnect them completely. I think it's totally wrong to say that this is victim-blaming, because I don't think it's the residents fault.

This month's podcast guest is something of a healthcare celebrity - Dr. Fiona Wood, the innovative surgeon responsible for the invention of spray on skin for burns victims.   We talk to Dr. Wood about why innovation in healthcare is so important and the impact digital technology is having in clinical settings.

LEAVING A MARK  When Fiona Wood first saw the potential of applying tissue engineering to burns therapy she knew it could change her patients' lives. What she didn't know was how much it would change her own life as well.  Born in England, Fiona was an energetic young doctor when she migrated to Perth in 1987. After qualifying as West Australia's first female plastic surgeon she soon became the director of the Burns Service of Western Australia and set about transforming the institution into a world centre of burns treatment through a program of research, collaboration and medical practice.  By 2002 - Fiona's team was already well progressed in the development of ReCel (spray-on-skin) when victims of the Bali bombings were transferred to the Royal Perth Hospital for treatment. What followed was a whirlwind of publicity, attention and accolades for their work, culminating in Fiona being named Australian of the Year in 2005.  Now a distinguished professor at the University of Western Australia, Fiona is still at the forefront of burns research. Meanwhile - the company she founded with her collaborator and friend Marie Stoner is dual listed on the ASX and NASDAQ stock exchanges as the company works to make the ReCel technology available for burns victims all over the world.  Join us for a glimpse into the career of this inspiring surgeon, researcher, mother and inventor.  GUEST : Fiona Wood  https://www.fionawoodfoundation.com/fiona-wood FIONA WOOD FOUNDATION https://www.fionawoodfoundation.com/ AVITA MEDICAL https://avitamedical.com/ EON LABS :  https://www.eonlabs.org/ https://eonjournal.com/ RENY DIGITAL : https://renydigital.com/ HOST : Dr. Leo Stevens https://www.linkedin.com/in/leostevensinc/ MUSIC : Purple Planet Music https://www.purple-planet.com Mixed by Dr. Nat Harris

Our guest today is Dr Fiona Wood, a world-leading burns specialist and innovative surgeon and researcher. She’s a former Australian of the Year for her pioneering burns research and treatments. Incredibly, she was also voted Australia’s most-trusted-person for six successive years. Fiona and her groundbreaking ‘Spray-on-skin’ burns treatment came into the public eye in 2002 when 28 victims of the Bali bombings were flown to Perth in Western Australia to receive life-saving burns treatment under her supervision. (Spray on skin greatly reduces permanent scarring.) Fiona has successfully commercialised “Spray on skin” treatment worldwide and all royalties from this business are used to fund further research into burns treatment through her Foundation. In this episode hear Fiona talk about: Her absolute passion for what she does and the responsibility she feels every day in the operating theatre How she copes and consciously fosters resilience having seen so much suffering first-hand How she approached commercialising ‘spray-on skin’ without having any commercial experience; And her memories of the remarkable experience of being Australian of the Year   If you’re anything like us after listening to this conversation you’ll feel like you want to take Fiona out for a coffee, give her a hug and high five her all at the same time!   Enjoy!       Links of interest: Dr Fiona Wood Foundation Website Avita Medical Fiona's TED Talk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Professor Wood's ability to lead a team and direct innovation for future clinical care was recognised as she quickly became a leader in her field becoming Director of the Burns Service of Western Australia at an early point in her career. In this position Professor Wood has led the Burns Service of Western Australia to be recognised internationally as a leader in burns care. Professor Wood's greatest contribution and enduring legacy is her work pioneering the innovative ‘spray-on skin' technique (Recell), which greatly reduces permanent scarring in burns victims.

Last week we recorded Dr Fiona Wood at the ANU, talking about her life, her work, and her passion. Her energy, her skill, and her passion were evident, and I believe everyone in the room was moved by her words. It was also great to meet her after our phone interview a couple of weeks earlier. Not apparent to Fuzzy listeners was the fact that her phone was on the blink as we were trying to make the call. Ah, technology. But now we could have a good laugh about it.

We all like to make a difference, but some do more than others. Dr Fiona Wood, Australian Living Treasure, former Australian of the Year, known to many Australians for her work on treating burns.  She is best known for the 'spray on skin' treatment, but her work is much more extensive than that. What does a burn do, how does the body react, and how can we treat them?  Also an interesting look at what and why researchers need to dip into that strange world - commercialisation. Interview by Rod with special thanks to Margaret McIver. And we're on Facebook
