Vol. 2, issue 4 (Summer 2019)
Given what has transpired across the world in 2020-21, it is bittersweet to reflect on the optimistic realism of the Summer 2018-19 cover that asks ‘Are we ready?’ for three growing healthcare challenges of an ageing population, obesity and diabetes. Nonetheless, the issue is a powerhouse, exploring demographic change through the lens of Port Macquarie (NSW), the obesity crisis through a critique of the ubiquitous Body Mass Index and the evidence base – or lack thereof – to guide dosing calculations in larger patients, and diabetes through the state of play in insulin and challenging misunderstandings and stigma.
