  • New cosmetic injectables guidelines have a blind spot

    5 days ago | medicalrepublic.com.au | Holly Payne

    AHPRA’s incoming guidelines for registered health practitioners performing non-surgical cosmetic procedures mean little without specific, approved training requirements. The health practitioner regulator has taken another step forward in bringing the cosmetic medicine industry to heel – but the newly-released guidelines offer little variation on the existing advice.

  • Extra measles vaccines for SA GPs

    6 days ago | medicalrepublic.com.au | Holly Payne

    From 1 July, some residents will be eligible for a free dose of the MMR vaccine as part of a state-funded campaign to boost coverage. GPs and pharmacists in South Australia will be armed with additional doses of the Measles Mumps Rubella vaccine specifically for residents planning overseas travel, as the Australian measles outbreak continues to grow. The state-funded measles vaccination program will kick off on 1 July.

  • First look at RN prescribing training standards

    6 days ago | medicalrepublic.com.au | Holly Payne

    Registered nurses with additional post-graduate training will soon be able to prescribe. Here’s what it will mean for GPs.

  • When you marry someone, you marry their mouth microbiome too

    6 days ago | medicalrepublic.com.au | Holly Payne

    Oral microbiota transmission between newlyweds partially mediated symptoms of depression and anxiety, according to new data. Healthy spouses newly married to an insomniac with a depression-anxiety (DA) phenotype soon found themselves losing sleep, feeling more depressed or anxious and sharing a similar mouth microbiome in a new study from Iran.

  • No, the bulk-billing incentives are not civil conscription

    1 week ago | medicalrepublic.com.au | Holly Payne

    Section 51 xxiiiA of the Commonwealth Constitution prevents the government from compelling doctors to become its employees, but not much else. Contrary to social media posts and comments from some doctors, incentive payments – no matter how large – are extremely unlikely to constitute civil conscription under the Australian Constitution.
