Well done Jane, all treating doctors need to be aware of the people they are treating. Even though it's like sticking your neck out there, it causes conversation and increases awareness. Go you happening thing you xxJane221 said:Hi @Romla and @kmakm, this was the discussion thread you were talking about earlier: http://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/discussion/17376/advice-to-medical-students-your-thoughts/p1
The comments I received from this discussion were fantastic and were presented to 2nd Yr Sydney University Medical Oncology students as part of my talk and gave them a great insight into the positive and negative experiences we often deal with in relation to the medical community.
With regard to this thread; having had a little bit of experience dealing with the media, I would agree that stories need to be packaged and presented to them in a way that works a particular angle (local / tie in with broader current issues etc) and that personal stories and photos are important to grab their attention. Good on everyone who has offered to help with their stories, I'm sure this will be of great assistance to BCNA as part of their ongoing public awareness work. Jane xx
