Actions speak louder than words in allyship and it’s better to make mistakes than not to try at all. But how do you know when to speak up, when to step up and when to shut up? In Episode 5 of The Deadly Physios, Dr Rachel Toovey and Associate Professor Shawana Andrews join Cameron to talk about listening and learning, the keys to building allyship skills and reciprocal relationships.
How do you respond if a patient says something problematic or inappropriate? What happens if someone's needs are different from the service you're offering?   In Episode 4, Cam speaks with Jaki Adams, Director of Social Justice and Regional Engagement at the Fred Hollows Foundation. They talk about allyship, the history of the Fred Hollows Foundation, its involvement in First Nations health and Jaki's amazing career. They explore the importance of the type of language physios use with patients. Also... the first poem ever read on The Deadly Physios! 
In episode 3 Cam is joined by Dr. Ngaree Blow. Ngaree is the Director of the Wurru Wurru Health Unit (First Nations Health) for medical education at the University of Melbourne and a public health physician. Ngaree shares her story of becoming a doctor and together they discuss physiotherapy's role in public health, changing healthcare systems and the importance of an ally knowing their role within a team.
What is clinical yarning? When is it appropriate to use? What does allyship look like in research? In episode two, Cam has a fascinating conversation with Professor Dawn Bessarab and Dr Ivan Lin about their work on clinical yarning. They discuss building relationships, conducting research and a person centered approach to finding out someone’s story and experience.
How can you be a genuine ally? Is there coming back from a negative first impression? Where is Groote Eylandt? In the first episode of Season 3, Cameron sits down with former Brisbane Broncos player and physiotherapy director Nick Kenny APAM, alongside his friend, colleague and a Deadly Physios favourite, Matt Hoffman APAM. Join them as they explore the inextricable link between cultural safety and the quality of healthcare provided by practitioners, as well as how to show genuine allyship.
