Hospitals are inhospitable for parents with sick children

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 31 January 2020

Victoria University has spoken to the parents and families of children who are repeatedly hospitalised with lower respiratory infections to talk about their experiences. They have found there are a number of failings in their experiences at the hospital as well as other pressures on them. Dr Karen McBride-Henry has led the research and talks about what they have uncovered.
