Thanks Rhea. I’ve been off social media lately but I also saw your lovely comments from a couple of months ago.
You’re not clueless at all (far from it 🤣). We all have our skill set to contribute and working as a team is best for everyone, especially patients.
Hi Cheryl,
Thanks - I didn’t realize my photo was on there!
A number of us contributed. I hope it’s helpful.
Not normally one to advertise events but if you have heard of Paolo Pandolfo you will know that he’s one of the greatest living viola da gamba players.
He’s coming to lutruwita/Tasmania!
I can’t wait. 🎻💜

Federal Health Minister addressing #GP24
Recognizing the importance of continuity of care in general practice.
I hope this is reflected in policies that support general practice.
Fantastic turnaround in GP training, with 20% more doctors training as GPs than last year. GP is back.
But like I've been saying, it's green shoots - we can't be complacent. Government, unis, and we need to make sure there are GPs for every community. 1/

Many thanks to Kerry-Ann Winmar for the generous welcome to Whadjuk country.
Lovely photo Wendy. It always feels good afterwards!
It was great to be back in the water. I’m not someone who swims in Hobart over winter. Though there seems to be an increasing group of people who do!

Managed to sneak in a swim in the Indian Ocean before conferencing tomorrow. It was WARM!
Not a pretty photo, but you can see how much I enjoyed it.
Tomorrow I’ll be discussing the 2023 Practitioner’s Toolkit for Managing Menopause with colleagues at #GP24.
Looking forward to meeting colleagues at the GP24 conference in Perth.
There will be academic and clinical sessions, and plenty of discussion about the future of general practice.
A healthy general practice sector is vital for the health of Australians.

On our flight from Hobart to Perth we played blu tac scrabble. My friend made a perfect replica including the correct letters.
It was great (apart from the fact that I lost).
Respect.
I won’t mind being cornered 🤣. Keen to hear more about it.
What are you going to be presenting about?
Yes! I need to get my brain switched on and work out what I’m going to say. I have just realized it’s this week 🤣😬
I’ll be there and have a go!
Thanks ❤️
🤣 I won’t take credit for that! But it has been a fascinating journey.
That’s a great way to describe it Kate.
It was challenging to treat patients with severe symptoms years ago when MHT was demonised.
Now it’s challenging in another way when MHT is sometimes promoted as a panacea.
My aim: to encourage person-centred evidence-based practice. With a focus on health promotion and the central role of GPs.
Hi! A bit about me. I am a GP in Hobart.
I’ve been interested in menopause since it was very unfashionable.
Trying to understand the research around MHT led me to the Australasian Menopause Society where I have learned from academics and clinicians. I was elected president from 2020-22.
Ha ha yes! I was going to do a picture of someone lifting heavy weights as resistance training came up trumps. But this one was fun, and I did note that they are carrying hand weights.

Reflecting on so many fascinating presentations from the World Menopause Congress in Melbourne recently.
One unifying theme that came out was the importance of exercise.
For mental health, sleep, muscle and bone health, cognition, vascular health, cancer risk.
