12.01.2022 Meet Braden Winders - Bachelor of Nursing student at Flinders University in Adelaide Braden came to the NT for two placements, first at the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress and then at the Tennant Creek Hospital organised by Centre For Remote Health staff "Prior to coming to Alice Springs, I had no exposure to Aboriginal people, culture or health inequities. Through my studies at Flinders University and learning about social determinants and discrepancies in health outcomes, I came to realise it would be unacceptable for me to try and uphold the values and morals I want to have as a nurse without exposing myself to the realities of Aboriginal health."
