​Our next Go Rural Virtually webinar, Where's the Harm? Healthcare in Correctional Facilities, dives into the realities of delivering healthcare behind bars. We’ll hear first-hand stories from those who’ve lived and worked in this less-visible environment.

Special guest speakers include Dr Louis Peachey, a renowned healthcare provider at Lotus Glen Correctional Centre, former prisoners, and the Nurse Unit Manager from the Secure Unit at Princess Alexandra Hospital. Together with other expert speakers, they'll share their unique insights into correctional healthcare and its challenges both inside and outside prison.

Key discussion points will include:

  • Delivering healthcare in a unique clinical environment as a health professional.

  • How the delivery of healthcare is experienced by prisoners.

  • Does correctional healthcare contribute to prisoner rehabilitation?

  • Drug use and dependency in prison.

  • Providing healthcare to Indigenous prisoners.
