Life Matters - Separate stories podcast
Society & Culture:Relationships
Psychiatrist Duncan McKellar's life changed when he began looking into problems associated with the Oakden Older Persons' Mental Health Service in Adelaide.
His participation in the Oakden Review was spurred on by people like Barb Spriggs who, following the death of her husband six months after being admitted to Oakden, was looking for answers.
These events paved the way for the Royal Commission into Aged Care and prompted Duncan to investigate how to create caring health cultures that place patients at the centre. In his book, An Everyone Story, he champions the idea that institutions must ensure that the concerns of patients, families and staff are heard and acted on.
