I had the incredible opportunity to be a guest on ABC Newcastle’s radio segment “Drive,” hosted by Scott Bevan (usual host Paul Culliver), where I discussed our exciting community event, “Deadly Images.” This event, will be held at the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) Imaging Centre. It's designed to engage and educate the community about the importance of medical imaging, not only its role in healthcare but also the role in research studies.
“Deadly Images” is a free event that will take place tomorrow (Friday, 19 July), from 10am to 2pm. It will be a day filled with activities aimed at showcasing the capabilities of medical imaging technologies like X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRIs. These imaging techniques are vital for diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions, providing detailed insights into the body’s internal structures.

The event will kick off with a Welcome to Country and a smoking ceremony at the yarning circle, setting a culturally respectful and inclusive tone for the day. There will be engaging activities such as dance workshops, art and craft sessions, face painting, and lab tours, making it a fun and educational experience for all attendees. We will also provide food and refreshments to ensure everyone is welcomed and comfortable throughout the day.
One of the highlights of the event is the opportunity for attendees to meet Indigenous Imaging Fellows, including myself and Jennifer Rumbel. We will share our experiences and insights into the world of medical imaging, explaining how these technologies are used to keep our communities healthy. I hope that it's fantastic opportunity to connect with the community, answer questions, and inspire the next generation of health professionals.

During my radio interview on “Drive,” I talked about the significance of the “Deadly Images” event and the impact it will have on connecting with our community. I emphasised the importance of making medical knowledge accessible and engaging, particularly for our Indigenous communities. The event was not only about showcasing advanced imaging technology but also about fostering a deeper understanding of health and wellness through culturally relevant activities.
Reflecting on the “Deadly Images” event, I am immensely proud of what we achieved. It was a day of learning, sharing, and community building. The positive feedback from attendees and the enthusiasm they showed were truly heartwarming. This event was a testament to the power of community engagement and the importance of making health education accessible to all.
