Feeling incredibly lucky to have heard from Akec Makur Chuot, Brian Li Han Wong, Zara Seidler and Brett Sutton on how we can collectively tackle mis and disinformation related to health.

Some great takeaways on the power of 'prebunking' and engaging diverse/young communities. #WHS2024

Our congratulations go to Alfred Health's Dr Robert Mitchell on being named as a recipient of a 2023-24 Premier’s Award for Health and Medical Research for his work and research alongside colleagues Alfred Emergency Academic Centre to improve emergency care in both Australia and the Pacific region.

So great to see VicHealth covering the dangers of misinformation! Thanks Brett CSIRO, Dr Sandro Demaio and the whole VicHealth team for tackling this issue. #WHSMelbourne2024

“The school system will need to be very agile in uplifting digital literacy.” says Brett Sutton CSIRO in the face of fast developments of #AI technologies like deepfakes and voice cloning. #WHSMelbourne2024

We end the World Health Summit where we began — on the importance of TRUST.

Ilona Kickbusch opened the conference with “trust as a public health risk factor”.

Now Zara Seidler ends the conference with “it all comes down to trust, and rebuilding trust”.

Trust = health = trust.

.Akec Makur Chuot advice for content creators on #socialmedia : “Speak about things you are passionate about and that directly affect you.” #WHSMelbourne2024

Great concept!

⚠️ “Pre-bunking” ⚠️

… as opposed to debunking.

👉 When we warn and educate about misinformation before it occurs.

Coined by the sensational Prof Brett Sutton, of CSIRO — at World Health Summit happening now.

INCREDIBLE final panel for Melbourne’s World Health Summit, focuses on misinformation & health.
