When the old ways of doing things go digital, there is always an adjustment period. Before computers, doctors’ offices and hospitals had whole rooms dedicated to storing paper records. These records were slowly replaced with computers, and now these records are online. Today’s guest, Dr Steve Hambleton, has been a key player in this process: taking our medical records online, whilst keeping them accessible and safe. Dr Steve joins the podcast to discuss the ways in which MyHealthRecord, the government’s online summary of your medical history, can assist medical practitioners, and how to generally best manage your medical information online.Follow Along:Follow Little Dreamers on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3eWw2qZJoin the Dreamers Hub: https://bit.ly/2ZQH78JCheck out My Health Record: https://www.myhealthrecord.gov.au/Follow our producers, The Peers Project: https://bit.ly/3jy4tbl Hosted on Acast.

The internet is for everyone. But in order for everyone to be able to use the internet, it needs to employ universal design, a concept explored by this episode of Safe Is Savvy’s guest Stephanie Agnew from Get Skilled Access. A sight-impaired internet user, Stephanie joins the podcast to advocate for the simple things we can all do to make the internet more accessible and inclusive. The duty to make the internet more inclusive and accessible doesn’t just rest with web designers.Follow Along:Follow Little Dreamers on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3eWw2qZJoin the Dreamers Hub: https://bit.ly/2ZQH78JCheck out Get Skilled Access: https://getskilledaccess.com.au/Follow our producers, The Peers Project: https://bit.ly/3jy4tbl Hosted on Acast.

What crumbs have you left online? In your browsing and your posting, what have you left behind? In this episode of Safe Is Savvy, Jarrad Langdon from Jala Design joins us to discuss online footprints. Specifically, how we can audit our public profiles, and better decide how and when to provide private information. The reality of our information being available online forever is a scary one, but with better behaviours, we can protect ourselves.Follow Along:Follow Little Dreamers on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3eWw2qZJoin the Dreamers Hub: https://bit.ly/2ZQH78JCheck out Jala Design: https://www.jaladesign.com.au/Follow our producers, The Peers Project: https://bit.ly/3jy4tbl Hosted on Acast.

Joining us to chat through the ups and downs of dating in the digital age is Hannah Baker, co-host of the Whinge podcast.Follow Along:Follow Little Dreamers on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3eWw2qZJoin the Dreamers Hub: https://bit.ly/2ZQH78JListen to Whinge podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/whinge/id1573151924Follow our producers, The Peers Project: https://bit.ly/3jy4tbl Hosted on Acast.
