Before 40% of Americans can progress in integration and coordination, they need to move from half enough primary care, mental health, and womens health workforce/services/spending to sufficient. Even more important is the move from fewer and lesser delivery team members to most and best team members. This not only requires about 100 billion more for each of primary care, mental health, and womens health spending, there must be 300 billion taken from health care doing best. If I see claims for higher functions, I am going to ask to see where the money is going to come from and where it is going to go. Because most Americans are most behind by design, we must be very intentional about assessing proposals to address their basic needs.

Quote from: Byrne, S. & Fursland, A. (2024). New understandings meet old treatments: putting a contemporary face on established protocols. Journal of Eating Disorders,12-26. DOI https://buff.ly/49oJ1in. Unfortunately health care professionals advocating for partial weight restoration or not recognising the need for weight restoration at all is very common, leaving the sufferer in distress for longer. Common protocols for evidenced based practice have these biases in built and unless you learn ways to identify weight bias and address it in your work, you are likely reinforcing cultural narratives that are harmful. This has been raised (and often dismissed) by many for years and yet we are pleased to see this being raised again in the eating disorders space, and hope healthcare providers take note.

In July, the Endo-MP team submitted recommendations to the Victorian Inquiry into Women's Pain, based on research involving women with endometriosis or chronic pelvic pain (CPP), GPs, and stakeholders across Australia. Key recommendations include raising awareness about endometriosis and CPP, providing clear diagnostic pathways for GPs, enhancing mental health support, and promoting multidisciplinary, patient-centred care. The research highlights issues like symptom dismissal, diagnostic challenges, and healthcare access barriers, emphasising the need for improved diagnosis and management of these conditions.
