Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

Are prisons the new asylums? 

Are prisons the new asylums?  | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
When Australia closed down its asylums in the 90s, there was meant to be a new system to replace it. The idea was that people with severe mental illness would still get the help they needed outside the four walls of an outdated and often harmful institution. But that's not always what's happened. Today on The Signal, meet the people begging for help, and not getting it. We discover how they were let down by Australia’s mental health system, and the extreme consequences of that failing.
