Elizabeth Santos and a team from Australia and the United States recently conducted original research (n=113) and published peer-reviewed literature on the topic of ‘Genitourinary Syndrome of Lactation’. This paper explored the sexual health of lactating mothers in the postpartum period, and the effects of the oestrogen variability of this time. Results have been published by Midwifery Journal, Elsevier and you can read them here or click the journal article image below to be directed to the article.
NEW GRADUATE’S GUIDE TO PHYSIOTHERAPY
Elizabeth has a passion for supporting new health professionals and has published (2019) and released a paperback book for Physiotherapists titled ‘New Graduate’s Guide to Physiotherapy: Avoid Burnout and Injury, Build Resilience and Thrive in Clinical Practice’.

Start your career with clarity and confidence!
Learn the ‘soft skills’ you would normally only learn through years of trial and error.
Or if you’re an experienced physiotherapist, deepen your understanding of how to best care for yourself while teaching others, and be the mentor that your new grads (and team) need you to be!
A portion of all sales go to The Birthing Kit Foundation to help provide first-line childbirth care and Birthing Kits for women in high risk settings.
“This book is exactly what students need in their final year of the physiotherapy degree. It provides much-needed clarity regarding what the first few years of practice may look like, and how to avoid burnout in the future. Would highly recommend this book to fellow students also seeking guidance on their future physiotherapy career!”
– Jessica Gourlay, 4th year physiotherapy student
