A locum emergency doctor submits a timesheet claiming excessive overtime and a conversation leads you to suspect they are suffering from mania. How can you protect patient safety while, at the same time, being compassionate and fair? In this episode, host Dr David Rankin presents this difficult scenario to Dr David Fenn, a psychiatrist who is the Deputy Chief Medical Officer at Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Director of Quality and Reform for Royal Melbourne’s Mental Health Services.

This week, we welcome Fleur Katsmartin, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary at The Royal Melbourne Hospital. Throughout her law degree, articles and early legal roles, Fleur never felt like she was in the right place. In her words, it always seemed like she was “too much”. But Fleur found her legal sweet spot working in-house, specifically in purpose-driven organisations. This clarity led her to some very large and very dynamic roles. Fleur had just become General Counsel at Healthdirect Australia, the national virtual public health information service, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. And she now leads a team of lawyers at one of Australia's largest public hospitals, where she describes herself as a Jane of all trades. It was a delight to welcome Fleur to the show and hear about her Life in the Law. www.greenslist.com.au/podcast

The rise of multiple sclerosis (MS) registries worldwide has transformed MS research, providing access to vast clinical data spanning years. This development also triggers critical conversations about how best to use real-world data to answer questions over the treatment of people with MS and the potential shift towards personalised medicine. In this episode, guests Professor Tomas Kalincik, Head of the Clinical Outcomes Research (CORe) Unit at the University of Melbourne and the MS Centre at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia, and Maria Pia Sormani, Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Genoa in Italy, share their expert insights on harnessing real-world data with host Brett Drummond of MStranslate.

In this piece we cover frailty in perioperative and end-of-life care, the assessment of frailty, the challenges of clinical momentum, multidisciplinary team meetings, and the importance of palliative approaches.

“Many countries are looking to lead on AI and embed it in as many aspects of our lives as possible. But right now we do not have an electricity grid that is built for this purpose. We also need to think about the fuel needed to power up this grid.” Dr. Stephanie Hare on Electric Ladies Podcast We're putting artificial intelligence (AI) to work for a variety of our problems on a daily basis -including climate change. How? In more ways than you might think, though it's the amount of electricity, water and fuel it requires that raises tough questions. Listen to Dr. Stephanie Hare, a researcher focused on the intersection of politics, technology and history, on Electric Ladies Podcast in an in-depth conversation with host Joan Michelson. Stephanie is also the author of “Technology Is Not Neutral” and co-presents “Artificial Intelligence: Decoded” on the BBC. Join us as we explore the promise and pitfalls of AI as a tool to mitigate climate change and increase equity.  You'll hear about: The hurdles and opportunities of using AI. Why environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data needs to be treated as a valuable resource. How we can ensure that AI is fair, accessible, and inclusive for everyone. Plus, career advice for being open to great opportunities. “Look at the problems you most enjoy solving, because the world is never going to be short of it. Stay open, nimble, curious, and flexible – and people will recognize that problem solver spirit in you.” Dr. Stephanie Hare on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

“If you want to get something done in this world that transcends what's already happening, you have to be willing to listen to the people that are trying to hold dearly to how it has been. Become a master bridge builder. Be committed to asking questions such that you understand where the commonality is. Find the common points.” Jennifer Hough on Electric Ladies Podcast At the end of a year where every country and neighborhood seems more divided than ever, and many of us feel like we're walking on eggshells in every conversation, we've found ourselves in uncharted terrain. How can we prevent tightly held agendas, biases and self-interests - conscious or unconscious ones - from derailing meaningful interactions, whether at a dinner table or in the workplace? In my final episode of the year, I'm revisiting a powerful interview with Jennifer Hough, author of “Unstuck,” TEDx speaker and advisor to leaders. In this interview, Jennifer draws on the laws of physics to offer insights into “regenerative conversations” – where we walk away more informed and empowered.   One key takeaway: asking someone “What is important to you?” helps you understand their deepest values and frame conversations in ways that build bridges, not walls. Whether as a parent preparing for a new school year, a professional leading a team, or simply someone looking to strengthen your personal and professional relationships, this episode is filled with actionable wisdom to help you connect more effectively. You'll hear about: How to listen differently to the climate deniers and others afraid of (any) change. What “cognitive dissonance” is and how to transform it. How to talk about climate change in a way that builds bridges. How to incentivize people to see solutions differently. *BONUS* Set yourself up for success in the year ahead As highlighted in my latest piece in Forbes, 2025 holds tremendous potential for women. To seize these opportunities, it's essential to own the space you occupy, own your knowledge and own your expertise.  As we wrap up 2024, I'm leaving you with powerful career advice from Jennifer: Be clear about who you are and your purpose. Work with a mentor or guide to develop both personal and practical skills. Let go of the need to do everything yourself. Accept help at a deeper level than you may be used to, and never stop seeking support. “‘What's the greatest thing that you can do with the skill sets you already have that might leave you feeling fulfilled, that you went to bed that night knowing that you did what you came to the planet for and you woke up in the morning excited about getting up?” Jennifer Hough on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Ann Friedman, Founder and CEO of Planet Word Museum, about the power of language and how we communicate across various media and formats. Paula Glover, President of the Alliance to Save Energy, on how talking about – increasing – energy  efficiency helps build bridges to solutions to mitigating climate change.

This episode captures a blend of practical insights, high-level strategy, and the enduring need for empathy in healthcare leadership. We explore the importance of preparing patients physically and mentally before surgery. We look at how the challenges of activity-based funding (as practiced in Australia and the UK) require balancing care quality with financial constraints and ask; is it time for bold systemic changes? We also look at the importance of a collaborative approach to working with politicians and policymakers to ensure better adoption of quality and safety practices in healthcare. And, we look at the role of AI in medicine; its the potential in diagnostics, pathology, and operational efficiencies, alongside ethical questions about how and when to trust AI, especially in clinical decision-making. Presented by Kate Leslie and Mike Grocott with their guest, Shelley Dolan, Professor and Chief Executive Officer at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Victoria, Australia.

Thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke has undergone great advances in the last decade, but the expertise and technology is restricted to tertiary hospitals. Outside of large metropolitan centres, thrombolytic treatment can buy a patient time, but for almost 30 years the first line agent has remained unchanged. Alteplase is an analog of the human tissue plasminogen activator which activates plasmin to dissolve fibrin blood clots. For many years it was assumed that alteplase should be administered within 3 hours of symptom onset, thus it was a big deal when in 2008, research showed that that window could be safely broadened out to four and a half hours.Today's guests have over the intervening years been pushing the envelope even further, in an effort to help the more than two thirds of stroke patients who present after that threshold. In this podcast, Professors Bruce Campbell and Mark Parsons discuss a trial of the relatively novel agent, tenecteplase. The publication in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that tenecteplase could improve patient outcomes even if administered up to 24 hours out from a large vessel occlusion. The researchers explain the steps that led up to their study, and the importance of perfusion imaging to identify candidates with salvageable brain tissue. Key ReferenceTenecteplase for Ischemic Stroke at 4.5 to 24 Hours without Thrombectomy [NEJM. 2024]GuestsDr Duncan Austin PhD FRACP MRCP (Cabrini Health) Professor Bruce Campbell PhD FRACP (Cabrini Health; Royal Melbourne Hospital; University of Melbourne) Professor Mark Parsons PhD FRACP, FAAHMS (Sydney Neurointerventional Specialists; Consulting in Neurology, Maitland). ProductionProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

Recorded at the 7th Collaborative Clinical Trials in Anaesthesiology Conference, Prato, Italy this piece is a conversation about the current hot topics and research in Anaesthesia. Desiree Chappell speaks with Kate Leslie, Professor, specialist anaesthetist and head of research in the Department of Anaesthesia and Pain Management, Royal Melbourne Hospital, and honorary professorial fellow at the University of Melbourne and Monash University in Australia.

“If you want to get something done in this world that transcends what's already happening, if you want to be a pioneer or a leader and make something new out of what has been…then you have to be willing to listen to the people that are trying to hold dearly to how it has been and who are afraid of how it has been going away. And one has to become a master bridge builder. In order to become a master bridge builder, one has to be so committed to asking questions to drop into a place of understanding such that you understand where the commonality is….Find the common points.” Jennifer Hough on Electric Ladies Podcast Historically devastating hurricanes are wiping communities off the map, courtesy of climate change, and historic private sector and government investments show that clean energy and climate resilience technologies are economic engines. Yet there are still climate deniers and those battling to reverse those investment – even as they praise the jobs created by those investments in their areas. How do we bridge the gap?   Listen to Jennifer Hough, author of “Unstuck,” TEDx speaker and advisor to leaders, explain how to listen differently and talk about these issues differently in this enlightening conversation with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson. They also share insightful career advice. You'll hear about: How to listen differently to the climate deniers and others afraid of (any) change. What “cognitive dissonance” is and how to transform it. How to talk about climate change in a way that builds bridges. How to incentivize people to see solutions differently. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “The first piece of advice that I would give is that…(you want to ask yourself or the Universe) ‘What's the greatest thing that you can do with the skill sets you already have that might leave you feeling satisfied, fulfilled, and like you had a life of meaning and that you went to bed that night knowing that you did what you came to the planet for and you woke up in the morning excited about getting up?' Answering that question sometimes takes six months, two weeks. It, it's not something that most people can answer right off the bat. They can answer it sometimes generally, but not specifically. So that would be number one….The second thing is, in order for your glass ceilings to become your floors,…you want to work with someone consistently that's guiding you, 'cause doing it alone is for the birds,….finding someone to work with, man, that's so important.” Jennifer Hough on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

We can be mighty thankful that the City of Sydney did not adopt e-scooters like some suburban councils. This week Melbourne became the latest city to ban hire scooters with the two operators Lime and Neuron ordered to remove the 1500 e- scooters within 30 days, Melbourne councilors saying they posed unacceptable safety risks – too many people riding on footpaths, not parking them correctly, leaving them scattered around the city like rubbish and creating tripping hazards The two-year trial announced in February 2022 was cut short this week despite the fact both companies had six months left on their contracts. Royal Melbourne Hospital reported that in 2022 alone 250 e-scooter riders presented in its emergency department with major injuries. Lets hope Clover Moore now sees the light and gets rid of the useless e-bikes that litter Sydney streets. I'm David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Starting in 2023, the Medical Board of Australia and the Medical Council of New Zealand brought in what were called “Strengthened CPD” requirements. These put more focus on reviewing performance through self-reflection and peer feedback described in the RACP's MyCPD Framework as a Category 2 activity. To help synchronise CPD seamlessly with practice, the value of supervision as a reflective activity has been recognised in the 2024 framework. Time spend supervising trainees can now be counted towards Category 2 CPD “Reviewing Performance” rather than Category 1. In this short and insightful podcast, two of the RACP's most passionate medical educators explain the rationale for this shift, and how to use MyCPD tools to streamline the process of planning and recording CPD. GuestsAssociate Professor Kudzai Kanhutu FRACP GAICD (College Dean; Royal Melbourne Hospital; University of Melbourne)Professor Martin Veysey FRACP, FRCP (Gastro Healthcare; Australian National University) Production CPD OnDemand project production by Rebecca Lewis and David Tarr.

Professor Peter Doherty has certainly had an impressive and illustrious career as an immunologist. In 1996, he and his colleague Rolf M Zinkernagel were awarded a Nobel Prize for their work on how the immune system recognises virus-infected cells. In 1997, he was named Australian of the Year. Now an indomitable octogenarian, Doherty looks back at his career and reflects on how science has changed in his lifetime.In this illuminating interview with Research Features, we discuss Doherty's remarkable journey, today's global challenges, and ask what advice he'd give young and upcoming scientists.

“The link for us with (the WHO) is about universal health coverage and the sustainable development goal number three, which obviously the WHO places in the middle of the wheel of all the sustainable development goals. But on top and behind and with each other is climate action. We cannot have one without the other. And our role is to remind a lot of people that when they're making policies, they're talking about human beings.”  Emma O'Brien on Electric Ladies Podcast Climate change has a real impact on public health, from asthma and other respiratory illnesses due to CO2 and pollutants, to biodiversity-related risks like viruses, to heart disease, malnutrition and injuries and deaths from extreme weather events and extreme heat. Not to mention the stresses of displacement and trauma of these events. Listen to Emma O'Brien, Ph.D., the founder of the Global Scrub Choir and Head of Music Therapy at the Royal Melbourne Hospital talk about music + public health + climate change in this truly inspiring interview on Electric Ladies podcast with host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear: The impact of music on the brain – and the impact of creativity on health. The connection between the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Scrub Choir and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals – and why the Choir was at the UN's Climate Week 2023. Risks to public health from climate change Plus, insightful career advice …. “if you're within a system, I think you need to spend a lot of time understanding that system, but also,  never being afraid to question it.… not be afraid to ask questions. Because I found across my career that often I'll ask a question in a meeting and everyone will go, oh, thank goodness someone asked that question.” Emma O'Brien on Electric Ladies podcast You'll also want to listen to: Sandra Bargman & Chantal Bilodeau, about their Climate Cabaret Jill Tidman, Executive Director of The Redford Center, on how we talk about the climate and documentaries Daniella Ortega, writer and director of “Carbon: The Unauthorized Biography.” Deborah Rutter, President of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on managing creative people and the Reach center's sustainability features.
