WARNING: Some videos and still images included in MERTIL include footage and original content provided by the ATP-Generation 3 Melbourne Attachment and Caregiving Lab and the Women’s Hospital. These have been provided with the consent of project participants and patients, for teaching purposes only.  This content should be considered “health information”, and must be treated with the same privacy and confidentiality as any other health record or information. They have been recorded with appropriate consent, stored securely, and should not be distributed beyond the MERTIL teaching environment.

Using these images for any purpose other than that for which consent has been obtained, or sharing them in a non-professional context, is inappropriate. Breach of your obligations under privacy laws may result in a substantial fine, and you also risk being the subject of a complaint to AHPRA, health complaints entity, or an internal professional investigation.
