Episode 1: Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights
You have rights when receiving healthcare.
In Episode 1 of Patient Power, we hear about the Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights from three remarkable and diverse young women who are health consumers and family advocates, and a ‘patient doctor’.
Julie McCrossin discusses how the Charter can help build partnerships to improve healthcare at the individual and system levels.
Shona Edwards, Christie Ah-Fa, Ben Bravery and Nadine El-Kabbout reflect on how the Charter has helped – or could help – them to improve healthcare.
