Podcast: Engaging effectively with Aboriginal parents about children’s lung health

Chronic respiratory disease is prevalent among Aboriginal children, but most doctors never had the opportunity to learn about Aboriginal paediatric lung health, or were given tools to take a respiratory history in a culturally secure way.
This podcast will give you the skills to engage effectively with Aboriginal parents when it comes to the lung health of their children.
The podcast includes information on chronic wet cough, protracted bacterial bronchitis, chronic suppurative lung disease and bronchiectasis – conditions often overlooked or misdiagnosed in Aboriginal children.
Hosted by Dr Nicola Ball, a doctor who has spent a few years working in paediatrics, the podcast features interviews with two experts:
– Shekira Brahim, a mum of two children who has lived experience with respiratory disease in children
– Associate Professor Andre Schultz, a paediatric respiratory physician who is passionate about improving respiratory health outcomes for Aboriginal children
