In recognition of the ongoing health disparities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (hereafter Aboriginal), this scoping review explores the role and impact of the clinical communication process on Aboriginal healthcare provision. A medical education lens is applied, looking at the utility of a tailored clinical communication framework to assist health practitioners work more effectively with Aboriginal peoples and communities. The initial framework, building on existing communication guides, proposes four domains: content, process, relational and environmental. It places emphasis on critical self-reflection of the health practitioner's own cultural identity and will be guided by collective Aboriginal worldviews in select Australian settings. Using a two-eyed seeing approach the framework will be developed and tested in health professional education. The aim of this research journey is to enable health practitioners to have more effective healthcare conversations with Aboriginal peoples, working toward more socially just and equitable healthcare interactions and outcomes.

Background: Little is known about the practices and resources employed by general practitioners (GPs) in Singapore to manage late-life depression. As the country is stepping up its efforts to promote collaborative care across community mental health and geriatric care, understanding GPs' current practices when managing late-life depression appears timely.
Methods: This qualitative descriptive study explored the perspectives on late-life depression of 28 private GPs practicing in Singapore through online semi-structured group and individual interviews.

Purpose: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are tasked with integrating the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) to provide effective and efficient assessment and intervention services that best support clients and their families. As new research, technologies, and perspectives emerge, SLPs are required to adapt their clinical practices to meet these changes while maintaining high-quality evidence-based services. Through an illustrative case study, we aim to demonstrate the process of applying EBP principles - including research evidence, client and family perspectives, and clinical expertise - to a complexity-based speech sound intervention delivered via telepractice.
