Dr Jess Stokes Parish (science communicator and ICU nurse) joins
Preeya to tackle the beast of health misinformation. Why was
Belle Gibson so effective at spreading false information? Was
Belle unique or is the issue far more widespread? How do you spot
dodgy health content online when there’s so much of it and even
qualified health professionals get confused at times? This
episode includes practical tips to navigate this space (for both
community members and health professionals).
