Another call to action at #ASMIRT2026. US health educator Todd Van Auken urges radiographers to take an active advocacy role for patients with dense breast tissue, to ensure they understand the need for followup.

#ASMIRT2026 Day 2 in Nipaluna/Hobart, kicked off with a range of clinical/prof sessions, and some early interviews with conference convenors Dannielle Costello & Kirra Taylerson and passionate appeals for placement funding in allied health and action on menopause as a workforce issue.

What a stunning location for #ASMIRT2026. I’m incredibly excited to listen to and connect with so many brilliant people in the radiography field. I’m presenting each day so it’ll be a busy but hugely fulfilling conference. I’m once again extremely grateful for the invitation!

Starts today!

Gentrification is eroding access to cultural foods, vital for the identity & wellbeing of First Nations and migrant communities. It is important to support local businesses & advocates for cultural food access. This is a fantastic Croakey article on this issue - well worth a read 👇

Another zinger from this week's #TheZap: "one of the key issues to be addressed is the over-reliance on fee-for-service as a funding mechanism ... Enshrining fee-for-service remuneration for GPs is not modernisation." www.croakey.org/the-zap-all-... By @charlesmk.bsky.social – cc AMA
