A report into Melbourne’s Cohealth showed systemic problems were left unaddressed for a decade, while ideas from clinicians went ignored One cancer patient is advised to increase fluids, another sent an electronic script, and a third consoled. All have been saved from an emergency presentation by the timely intervention of a nurse – in just the first hour of the day. So, imagine my dismay when she warns me that her clinic will close for several weeks when she takes overdue leave.
