Our experience is that government engagement with health consumers is variable in many aspects. Quality improvement would be beneficial, and allow Australians an enhanced voice. Let’s hope the resources are put in place to make this possible.
"In some respects, the health and aged care consumer is missing from the department’s considerations... While consumers are often involved in departmental consultation forums, it is not clear that their views carry the same weight as the views of health and care providers...

💯@JenniferDoggett. Informed health consumers are the key. Much more needs to be done to ensure that neither luck nor personal circumstances are the determinants that lead to high quality, safe, person-centred care.
@QLDCountryGP @eldeveny I have observed over the years that when informed consumers are actually able to make very complex decisions about the balancing of safety, quality, efficiency, resource allocation, value and other priorities in health care - this is why they need to be central to this debate.

Self-interest or convenience on the part of any players who influence decisions about #healthcare comes as a surprise to many. Supporting Australians to understand all the determinants of #healthcare system will increase #transparency and reduce potential #assumptions

Every day of the week local #doctors, #pharmacists #nurses and many others collaborate to provide much needed #healthcare. Ordinary Australians are sometimes confused by the stark difference between their personal experience of #healthcare and some public commentary.
@JenniferDoggett @eldeveny It is. Don’t think it's fair to equate them though. RACGP is a educational & standard setting college, Guild an organisation of retail pharmacy owners that exists to protect their interests. The fact the the latter has so much pull is indicative of our political systems issues.

Providing Australians with resources that can enhance #healthliteracy, in this case about #quality care, #safe care, and the #commercial determinants of health, is #essential. Everyone deserves the right to make #informed decisions about their #healthcare.
@QLDCountryGP @JenniferDoggett @eldeveny There is a very good reason why diagnosing, investigating, following up, prescribing, or NOT prescribing as the case dictates, was separated from dispensing. There can be some sensible practical exceptions but wholesale removal of the distinction is not wise & certainly not safe.

Everyday Australians have told @CHFofAustralia loud and clear that their number one request to governments is timely, #affordable, #equitable #access to their local #primarycare service, be that a #nursepractitioner, #GP or other health professional.

Health consumers views are fundamental to the #policy conversation, the #implementation of any changes and #evaluation of new services. Governments and others need to ensure that we are fully informed about how #Australias #healthcare system works now and always.

@NC_Robinson @CHFofAustralia Sure Natasha. We are a small mob with a big remit so sometimes we struggle to feed the media beast. 🙏🏼

Right now @CHFofAustralia needs your help. Let's remind those finalising the #2023budget that health consumers demand their rightful place at the #table. It's our health. It's our money. It's time. #30yearson
