In this episode we chat with Dr Hannah Thomas from the Telethon Kids Institute. Hannah talks to us about her work in the See, Treat, Prevent (SToP) trial which aims to treat and prevent skin problems associated with scabies and skin sores in regional and remote Aboriginal communities in the north of Western Australia. Hannah completed a PhD in wound healing mechanisms, before then going on to do a Master of Science Communication, both skills that she has utilised in her work with SToP. We discuss the role that art has played in communicating the main findings that have come out of the SToP trial, and how empowering the community members to take a leading role in conducting the research, and getting the main messages out to the community has been successful. As with all of our guests, we thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and hope you do too!
