- Description
- The following collective of observations and opinions are from my role as primary carer for my Dad, Eric Stephen George Munro, during his cancer journey in 2015 and 2016. It is important to acknowledge that my experiences as an Aboriginal man working in government and non-government professions engaging with my own people and community have been invaluable in forming my role as observer in this context. From Corrective Services, Child Protection and now as an Indigenous academic with Newcastle University Department of Rural Health in Tamworth I have been privy to many professionals' endeavours to engage with their Aboriginal client base. Being Eric's youngest son and primary carer now places me in a unique position to be an observer of the challenges some in the health workforce can encounter when engaging with patients such as my Dad. What l offer here is a collection of strategies and thoughts on how to remove some of the barriers my Dad experienced from the point of entry on his journey. My Dad's story is used with his permission.
