ACT and Region Medical Women’s Society has an annual dedicated education event “Reflection on Culturally Safe Practice” for our members. Our organisation is based on Ngunnawal land.
Event
This year, on May 25th, and as a prelude to Reconciliation Week, three local Ngunnawal women are leading a Reflection on Culturally Safe Practice.
The AHPRA CPD requirement is set out as follows and is a requirement for all doctors.
Learn and reflect on how you can improve and apply your knowledge and understanding of cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People to your scope of practice.
Objectives
Our objectives are to improve our knowledge and understanding of:
1) Ngunnawal Country and the Importance of Country
2) the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women in medicine from an ANU medical student
——- with a discussion on Uluru Statement and the Voice from one of the signatories who represented this region.
We put this idea forward as the basis of an event that each organisation could plan for all the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Countries that you reside on.
Expressions of Interest – RAP Working Party
AFMW and all the States and Territories made a commitment to a Reconciliation Action Plan at our last Triennial meeting.
Now, I am calling for new Expressions of interest (email) from members who would like to work with me to progress our AFMW Reconciliation Action Plan.
