RBWH nursing podcast celebrates 100 episodes of healthcare conversations

RBWH nursing podcast, Five Things, has reached a major milestone, celebrating 100 episodes of conversations with leading experts and helping healthcare professionals expand their knowledge across a range of important topics.

The podcast is hosted by Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH) Director of Staff Wellbeing Dr Liz Crowe and Director of Nursing and Midwifery Education Jesse Spurr, with each episode focused on delivering practical insights for listeners.

“Healthcare workers operate in a complex environment,” Jesse said.

“Our goal with each episode is to leave listeners with five practical and actionable insights they can take away and apply to their work.”

Since launching, Five Things has built a loyal global audience, with more than 100,000 downloads in over 100 countries.

“At its heart, each episode is a conversation and an opportunity to explore important and often complex issues in an engaging and accessible way,” Jesse said.

Dr Liz Crowe and Jesse Spurr host the Five Things Nursing podcast.

“We’ve covered a broad range of topics, from clinical practice and leadership to wellbeing and professional development, helping inform, educate and inspire healthcare professionals.”

Dr Crowe is proud that the podcast provides a platform for discussions on health issues that are not always part of mainstream conversation.

A recent episode explored perimenopause and menopause with general practitioner Dr Emily Watters, whose clinical practice focuses on women’s health.

“Perimenopause and menopause will affect half the population, yet it is still not widely discussed as a significant public health issue,” Liz said.

“Dr Watters shared valuable insights into why perimenopause should be treated as a public health priority and how we can translate emerging evidence into better clinical practice and improved access to care for women experiencing symptoms ”

Dr Crowe encourages nurses and midwives to explore the podcast as a resource for their ongoing professional development.

“Now is a great time to discover Five Things,” she said.

“There are more than 100 episodes available to explore, with many more thought-provoking and informative episodes still to come.”
