“Right now, the Australian healthcare system is facing some of its toughest challenges, and I believe innovation is essential for driving meaningful change,” says Dr Lucy Shinners. “However, this innovation must be driven by clinicians—the people who truly understand the problems at hand. By partnering with them, we can co-create solutions that will transform patient care. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be leading this work and shaping what feels like a healthcare revolution.”
