The names of more than 140 doctors, nurses and health workers who have been marked with a now-permanent sexual misconduct label can be revealed. We’ve put together a list of the health practitioners who’ve had the new tag added to their profiles on public registers. It comes after changes to national laws that began in April to better protect patients. One doctor, who is still registered to practice, received the mark for having an affair with a friend who he was also treating as a patient. He fathered her children, unbeknown to her husband, who was also one of his patients. There were also doctors who had the sexual misconduct mark put on their profile with the reasons “withheld”. You can see the full list of names here nationally. We also have stories with more details and analysis relevant to where you live, focusing on NSW | Victoria | South Australia | Tasmania | Queensland | and the Northern Territory.

Meanwhile, if you care about our aged care system, then you need to read this piece about a deadly medication mix up that exposes an alarming safety issue across the sector. Sarah Booth has spoken to the grieving family of an aged care resident who died from “entirely preventable” causes following the fatal error. As Sarah reveals, Rosemary Jacoby, 94, died after a registered nurse put five residents’ medications into unmarked cups. She then gave Mrs Jacoby another resident's unlabelled cup and there was a 75-minute delay in calling an ambulance. There are questions around why the nurse was allowed to keep working for several months afterwards.

Lastly, did you know that having sore hips may be linked to your glutes? But although the term ‘lazy glutes’ is popular online, it’s not a medical diagnosis and doing just one particular exercise isn’t the complete answer. “Hip extension matters, but so does external rotation, abduction and single-leg control," physiotherapist Tim Keeley explains. He demonstrates three simple moves you can try at home to improve contraction, coordination and strength. Let us know if you give it a go by emailing health@news.com.au.

Until next week.
