She opens up about co-founding the Bleed Better charity, establishing International Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Day on 11 May, and what it's like to balance her clinical work as Director of Women's Health Road with her role as Clinical Senior Lecturer in O&G at Macquarie University, all while raising three children in Sydney.

She shares:

• Why a condition that affects 1 in 4 women of reproductive age is still widely normalised in families, with women suffering for years before seeking help.
• The frustration that drove her to found Bleed Better, after constantly seeing women walk into her clinic anaemic and iron deficient with a condition that is both common and treatable.
• Why heavy menstrual bleeding is one of the most treatable conditions in women's health, and how a single intervention could change lives that have been compromised for years.
• What she sees on the menopause side of bleeding, including why 40% of women on menopausal hormone therapy will experience abnormal bleeding, and why so many stop their treatment as a result.
• Her early adoption of AI in clinical practice, and how she uses Heidi to structure every patient consult around four key cycle questions.
• Her ongoing work with CSIRO and Macquarie University, including PhD research into building smarter clinical tools and AI agents to support women navigating the system.
• Why she's exploring AI in ultrasound interpretation, and how technology can help detect fibroids and adenomyosis more effectively.
• What it was like training as a medical student in Nigeria, including the burden of eclampsia and watching young women die from preventable conditions, and how it shaped her view of access and equity in healthcare.
• Why she chose to do locum work in regional Australia, and what working in places like Roma taught her about the resourcefulness required outside metropolitan healthcare systems.
• Her perspective on the rise of medical misinformation on social media, and the patients arriving in her clinic having delayed treatment for years because of what they've seen on TikTok.
• Why she sees women as the central force in changing the narrative around this condition, and how partners, friends, and colleagues can play a role in supporting women to seek care.
• What she believes needs to change in schools and workplaces to create safer spaces for young women and girls to talk about their cycles.

If you work in women's health, are interested in AI in medicine, or want to understand why a common and treatable condition has been overlooked for so long, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

In this episode of BluePrint MedTalks, our co-founder Michael Fernandes sits down with Dr David, a psychiatry registrar currently training in New South Wales. David shares his unconventional path into medicine, from studying English and Art History at Edinburgh, training as a Royal Navy reservist through medical school, and ultimately relocating to Australia in 2021 during COVID.

He opens up about working across Darwin, Hobart, and Armadale in Perth, why he eventually left emergency medicine after four years for psychiatry, and what life looks like as a UK trained doctor raising two young children in Byron Bay.

He shares:

• What it was like moving to Australia during COVID, from APRA and visa hurdles to a camper van quarantine in New South Wales and ten days at a quarantine facility outside Darwin.
• Why he left the NHS, including his belief that any business model reliant on individuals being heroic to stay viable isn't a model that should survive.
• The cultural shift in Australia around work life balance, including being told he had thirteen years to complete five years of psychiatry training, and never staying a minute past his shift in ED.
• How working across Darwin, Hobart, and Armadale shaped him as a clinician, and why the people in your department matter more than the location itself.
• The differences between metro, regional, and remote hospitals, including why regional work pushes you to grow faster but requires a foundation of experience first.
• Why he transitioned from emergency medicine into psychiatry after four years, and what was missing for him in the firefighting model of ED care.
• What has surprised him three months into psychiatry training, from the diversity of the role to the volume of paperwork and the collegiate nature of MDT work.
• The biggest pressures facing psychiatry trainees in Australia today.
• Why locum work has supported a lifestyle that lets him gallivant across the country while building a life outside medicine.
• What he tells UK doctors weighing up the move, and why six months of work in Australia can fund the European trips, family visits, and festivals they say they miss back home.

If you're considering a move to Australia, exploring a career in psychiatry, or curious about what life looks like for a UK doctor working across different states and specialties, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

In this episode of BluePrint MedTalks, our co-founder Michael Fernandes sits down with Dr Moses, a psychiatry registrar currently training in Victoria.

Moses shares his journey into medicine, from growing up in the UK and studying at Bristol, through to working across emergency medicine, paediatrics and ultimately finding his path in psychiatry after moving to Australia during COVID.

He opens up about what drew him to mental health, the realities of starting fresh in a new healthcare system, and how working across both metropolitan and regional hospitals has shaped his approach to patient care.

He shares

• What it was really like moving to Australia during COVID, from visa challenges to arriving in a regional town with just two suitcases and starting again.
• Why psychiatry stood out to him as a specialty, and how its holistic approach to patient care changed the way he practices medicine.
• How experience across emergency medicine and paediatrics has influenced his perspective in mental health, particularly when it comes to understanding patients and their wider environments.
• The key differences between working in metro and regional hospitals, from access to services and team structures to on call demands and autonomy.
• Why on call shifts can be some of the most valuable learning experiences for doctors, offering exposure to a wider range of cases and decision-making responsibility.
• What has changed in mental health in Australia in recent years, including increased awareness, earlier intervention, and growing pressure on services.
• The biggest challenges facing psychiatry trainees today, from workload and exam pressure to managing increasing demand.
• Why community follow up and support networks are critical in mental health recovery and long-term patient outcomes.
• What doctors in the UK should consider before making the move to Australia, from career planning and visas to lifestyle and being away from family.
• What separates a good medical recruitment agency from a great one, and why trust, communication and understanding individual goals matter so much.
