#226 Global Advocacy – our responsibility? 🗓
With Fi McLachlan & Prof Sam Leinster
Why and how should healthcare professionals engage in advocacy on matters of health? How can we approach this and how do we both use, but not abuse, our positions in respect of those in need in the communities we serve?
What might some of the barriers be to engaging in advocacy on health issues?
