Patient Power

You have rights when receiving healthcare.

In Episode 1 of Patient Power, we hear about the Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights from three remarkable and diverse young women who are health consumers and family advocates, and a ‘patient doctor’.

Julie McCrossin discusses how the Charter can help build partnerships to improve healthcare at the individual and system levels.

Shona Edwards, Christie Ah-Fa, Ben Bravery and Nadine El-Kabbout reflect on how the Charter has helped – or could help – them to improve healthcare.

Patient Power is a Health Consumers NSW podcast and video series, supported by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.
