We have gathered inspiration for this winter edition of Australian Hospital and Healthcare Bulletin from NAIDOC week, being held in the first week of July. Our cover titled Rockholes west of Kintore (Acrylic on linen, 181 x 271cm) is by Wentja Morgan Napaltjarri and is courtesy of the artist and Art Equity. NAIDOC celebrates the contributions Indigenous Australians make to our county and our society and in recognition of this we are proud to have Dr Tammy Kimpton, President of the Australian Indigenous Doctors’ Association, present this issue’s Foreword. To strengthen the theme, our ethics columnist, Professor Colin Thomson writes about ethics and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Patients, and Clinical Governance Advisor and clinical lead of the National Electronic Health Transition Authority Dr Trevor Lord also presents the reasons behind his view that Aboriginal Health in Australia is of the most successful areas of development in Health Informatics.
There’s much more to inspire and inform you in this winter issue, from health budget feedback to professional development opportunities and national campaigns. Winter Australian Hospital and Healthcare Bulletin is ready to read now!
