Episode 32 - Mya Cubitt

  • Summary

  • This month on the podcast we speak with Dr Mya Cubitt. Mya is an Emergency Physician whose clinical emergency work extends across the public and private emergency care sector in Victoria, Australia.  However, like with many of our guests, Mya has several roles that extend beyond the clinical floor. Mya is also the Victorian Faculty Chair of ACEM, contributes to the delivery of emergency care at a state level through Safer Care Victoria and has sat on many reference groups through ACEM including the National COVID-19 task force, Health System Reform Committee, Discrimination Bullying and Sexual Harassment Working Group, New Fellows Reference Group, as well as Trauma and Geriatric Special Interest Groups.

    During our chat (recorded an embarrassingly long time ago) Mya talks about her very fascinating "peripatetic" medical journey from a focus on paediatrics to adult emergency care and a genuine enthusiasm for improving the care of older people in the ED. We discuss the "boxes" we put various patient groups into and how we can bring together our healthcare teams to improve the care we provide. We also cover a lot of ground on matters that affect our workforce, patients and healthcare system more broadly.

    While my fellow podcaster John Thompson works regularly on the ED floor with Mya, I have not. My interactions with Mya have been limited to various emergency care groups, but I have a very strong sense that she is 'one of those' consultants that brightens your day when you know she's on shift. I think you will agree that Mya is just the type of thoughtful, kind and inspiring leader that emergency care needs, and we hope you enjoy or chat as much as we did.
