Welcome to The NQRTH Round Up — where we tackle big health topics from the Outback to the Tropics. Healthcare in northern Queensland is as vast and diverse as the region itself — and The NQRTH Round Up is here to unpack the biggest challenges, innovations and stories shaping regional and rural medicine. Hosted by A/Prof Elissa Hatherly, a Mackay-based GP and medical educator, this podcast dives into the pressing health issues affecting northern Queensland’s communities. Each episode features in-depth conversations with experienced clinicians who share frontline insights on everything from perinatal mental health to voluntary assisted dying—and everything in between. Designed for health professionals, these discussions provide a clear snapshot of key health challenges, their impact on communities, and best-practice approaches to diagnosis and management. Whether you’re a clinician looking to sharpen your expertise or a community member interested in rural health, this podcast delivers valuable knowledge and practical takeaways to enhance patient care. The NQRTH Round Up is a collaborative project between Northern Queensland Hospital and Health Services, regional clinicians, and James Cook University’s Northern Queensland Regional Training Hubs. We respectfully acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their contributions to health care, and the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we practise.
