Surviving Healthcare in Australia: Get the Support You Need
Finding the necessary healthcare solutions for patients and caregivers in Australia can be a daunting task. Although the Australian healthcare system is world-class, its evolution has led to complexities, inequalities and frustrations for healthcare practitioners and patients alike.
In this book, you will learn:
why diagnosis and treatment need to adopt a more holistic view of individuals. which practices and restrictions prohibit healthcare practitioners from delivering the best care for their patients, despite their best intentions. where to find the help and support you need based on your unique circumstances. how to navigate the existing healthcare system to achieve the best results. how minor adjustments to the care and treatment of the ill, aged, disabled and disenfranchised can significantly improve patient outcomes. It is time that our healthcare system provides people with the support they need, not just to recover from an illness, but to secure the best possible results for individuals and their families physically, mentally, emotionally and personally.

Surviving Healthcare in Australia – Get the Support Your Need is a must read.
I found the book, thought provoking. I was confronted by Anne's experience as a patient, caregiver and healthcare professional, and what she saw first-hand about the disparities in accessing healthcare services in Australia, especially for people with disabilities, or in the aged care system - and how these inequalities generally result in preventable causes.
It makes you ask yourself, why is this happening?
The book is a page turner for not only those going through diagnosis and treatment, or have a loved one with a health crisis, it is also relevant to lawmakers and policy changers.
I agree with Anne’s sentiment, that it is time that our healthcare system in Australia helps the patient to recover from an illness, with a team-based approach to secure the best possible outcome physically, mentally, emotionally and personally.
