GARDS A PART OF TUTORIAL AT MONASH UNI CLAYTON
On May 1st representatives from GARDS travelled to Monash University Clayton campus to take part in a tutorial on asbestos diseases and the impact they have on a community to 1st year medical students. This year there were over 300 medical students, they came from countries all around the world such as Botswana, Singapore, UK, Malaysia, Canada, United States, India, Thailand, China, Japan etc. who eagerly listened while the 8 representatives from the GARDS organisation told them their experiences. Some of those GARDS members who travelled to Melbourne were carers, family members who had lost a loved one to asbestos disease, workers who have been exposed and those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma.
The students were given first hand experiences from carers, family members, workers and those who know only too well what it is like to live with or support those who are dying with asbestos related disease.
GARDS has been doing these tutorials for the past 4 years and the students have found this part of their teaching unit most informative. Some of the students told their tutors after the session was completed that the GARDS representatives were awesome!
Pictured here are: some of the 1st year Medical students with Vicki
Hamilton Secretary, Trevor Callow Vice President and Jim McLean GARDS member
