Echo drudges have been having a little bit of fun in recent months working on a short series of video vignettes on the subject of health, covering everything from your brain to your bum and what happens in between.
Stars of the show are health workers who are all specialists in their field including, naturopath, author and health educator, Sally Mathrick; oncology clinician and researcher Dr Janet Schloss; Dr Marco Giuseppin the newly appointed Executive Director of Medical Services & Clinical Governance for the Northern NSW Local Health District; local GP Dr Joel Hissink who knows a lot about diving and aviation medicine; Professor Jon Wardle who is a Foundation Director, National Centre for Naturopathic Medicine, Faculty of Health, Southern Cross University; and Associate Professor John Stevens who is Co-founder and Director of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine and the Discipline Lead of the Master of Lifestyle Medicine at Southern Cross University.
The videos cover topics including the importance of bowel screening, SCUBA diving for asthmatics, CBD treatment for brain cancer, managing menopause, the Natural Therapies Review, and Lifestyle Medicine.
The videos also look at careers in medicine.
The videos were made at the Mcgougans Lane studios and were produced by Aslan Shand, directed by Eve Jeffery, and wrangled by Ziggi Browning as DoP, lighting, sound engineer and editor.
