Hello and welcome back for another edition of the Meaning of Health. We chat with Executive Director of the Health Consumers Council of Western Australia (HCCWA), Pip Brennan. Pip draws on a wealth of different life experiences in her role and discusses how she ended up working in advocating on behalf of health consumers. We discuss Pip's experience as a victim of crime, and the journey that took her on through the justice system, and ultimately through to her current work as a consumer health advocate and head of the HCCWA. Pip documented some of her experiences in her memoir (see links below for details). Please excuse a slight break in transmission part way through our conversation with Pip, we had an unexpected visit from one of the cleaners!
