How Healthy is Australian Women’s Healthcare?

Panel

What are the limitations of our current healthcare model – a system in which clinicians are under pressure to prescribe a pill without the chance to explore deeper issues, or indeed provide ‘care’ – and what does that mean in particular for women’s health? Tom Gyorffy chairs the panel of GP and author Dr Karen Hitchcock, pharmacist Wendy Morton, and Lucy Mayes, a trained lawyer and social worker and who now works as Manager of Engagement for Goldfields Libraries.
