Clinician’s guide to women and girls’ health

4 episodes

Reproductive health in early adulthood
01/02/2026 | 40 mins.
In the third episode of The Clinician’s Guide to Women and Girls’ Health, we shift focus to young adulthood, exploring the evolving nature of women’s bodies, fertility, and the transition to independent healthcare.
As women move from school into work, training, or university, they begin navigating the health system on their own - often for the first time. This episode highlights the importance of creating safe, supportive environments and the power of education in helping women make informed, confident choices about their reproductive health.
Joining the conversation are Dr Sally Cohen, an experienced obstetrician gynaecologist and laparoscopic surgeon with expertise in adolescent gynaecology and endometriosis, and Dr Vanessa Siu, a North Brisbane GP and medical educator specialising in reproductive and sexual health.
Together, they offer valuable insights into how clinicians can support women through this critical stage of life.
Navigating teen sexual health and relationships
18/11/2025 | 47 mins.
In the first episode of The Clinician’s guide to women and girls’ health, we explore the complex and transformative years between ages 11 and 17, when girls experience significant physical, emotional, and social changes.
This conversation focuses on reproductive and sexual health during puberty, emphasising the importance of self-advocacy, body literacy, and respectful relationships.
Joining the discussion are Elle Blackburn, a school-based health nurse from Children’s Health Queensland, and Professor Rebecca Kimball, clinical lead of Queensland’s paediatric and adolescent gynaecology services at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. Together, they offer expert insights into how clinicians can support and empower young women through this critical stage of development.
Supporting teen wellbeing: Body and mind
18/11/2025 | 52 mins.
In the second episode of The Clinician’s Guide to Women and Girls’ Health, we turn our attention to the emotional and social landscape of adolescence - a time when girls between the ages of 11 and 17 begin to shape their identities, assert independence, and navigate complex internal and external pressures.
This episode explores the sensitive and often challenging conversations clinicians must engage in, from mental health and disordered eating to risk-taking behaviours.
Joining us are Dr Renee Denham, medical director of the Child and Youth Eating Disorder Program at Children’s Health Queensland, and Dr Aaron Chambers, a high-school based GP. With deep expertise in adolescent psychiatry, Dr Denham shares insights into how health professionals can better support young people in understanding the factors that influence their wellbeing, while Dr Chambers brings a practical, frontline perspective on how to build trust and engage meaningfully with teens in their everyday environments.
Together, our guests offer thoughtful guidance on how to meet girls where they are and help them thrive through this transformative stage.
