Resilience and sustainability in the Northern Territory

For nearly 20 years, general and acute care physician Dr Simon Quilty has witnessed up-close the poverty that inflicts indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. The conditions are exacerbated by systems failures and lack of health care. Despite the incredible challenges, there are opportunities. Dr Quilty commends the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons’ attempts to encourage surgeons to work in remote parts of the country. Dr Quilty has been instrumental with Purple House, an initiative which provides Aboriginal communities with much needed medical and social support. Dr Simon Quilty is presenting at the RACS NT, WA & SA Annual Scientific Meeting 2023Date: 10-11 August 2023Venue: Darwin Convention CentreMore Information: https://surgeons.eventsair.com/tristate2023 Purple House – https://www.purplehouse.org.au/ RACS Post Op Podcast is proudly brought to you by leading financial services organisation the Bongiorno National Network: https://bongiorno.com.au/about-us/our-bongiorno-national-network/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A surgeon’s journey from Texas to Queensland

When Dr Emilia Dauway decided to relocate to regional Queensland from Texas, she didn’t intend for it to be permanent. The 40-bed Queensland hospital she relocated to was a far cry from the 700-bed academic hospital in the US where she was Chief of Breast Surgery and Director of the Breast Cancer Program. Now, based permanently in Harvey Bay, Dr Dauway’s committed to raising funds and educating women in regional Queensland on breast cancer treatments, through ‘Restore More’ a non-profit she founded in 2018.

Striving for better Indigenous health

The Surgical Education & Training (SET) One-Year scholarship that Dr Jamie-Lee Rahiri received is an opportunity she says to help continue her passion to promote health equity among Indigenous people, particularly among the Maori and Pacifika community of Aotearoa New Zealand. That passion is exemplified by many things she’s done, including her PhD research, which focused on investigating equity in access to bariatric surgery for Māori, and also understanding how health benefits could be optimised for Māori post-surgery.Having a safe and supportive workplace – that’s inclusive of everyone – is an important step, she says, for the greater good of patients.

Great strides in combating trauma

RACS’s Trauma Committee has been pivotal in helping prevent acute trauma in the community. That includes encouraging surgeons to pursue a trauma specialty. Instrumental to its success is Dr Li Hsee, who stepped down as Chair of the Aotearoa New Zealand Trauma Committee in late 2022, after eight years in the role. Among other leadership roles in trauma both at home and internationally, Dr Hsee’s responsible for the development and implementation of the first Acute Surgical Unit in Aotearoa New Zealand. He’s also the Clinical Director in General Surgery at Auckland City Hospital.

It’s hip to be active – from world champ to surgeon

Dr Mat Brick’s journey into the world of surgery wasn’t the most conventional. He studied at medical school, but shifted direction to focus on running and cycling. He is a two-time world champion duathlete and he’s represented Aotearoa New Zealand at the world championship level in cycling. That passion for sports and activity-related injury enticed him back to the medical fold as an orthopaedic surgeon. Today he’s one of just a handful of surgeons world-wide who have experienced thousands of hip arthroscopies. Dr Brick is on several international committees relating to hip arthroscopies, and he’s actively involved in research and teaching.
