Last month, the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne cancelled a scheduled speaking event entitled 'Children and War' amid concerns about staff safety and wellbeing. As reported by Guardian Australia and The Jerusalem Post, the Sydney-based psychiatrist Dr Doron Samuell wrote a letter to the hospital's executive expressing concerns about the potential for 'moral injury' and 'vicarious trauma.' Last year, a similar event featuring Palestinian-Australian doctors was cancelled at Fremantle's Fiona Stanley Hospital. The hospital's namesake is troubled by the cancellations. Guest: Professor Fiona Stanley, epidemiologist and distinguished professorial fellow in the School of Paediatrics and Child Health at the University of Western AustraliaRead Dr Samuell's concerns about the Royal Children's Hospital event as reported in the Jerusalem PostRead responses from Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne and Fiona Stanley Hospital, as provided to Guardian Australia
