Forthcoming: ABC TV 22 Feb 2022 Catalyst featuring our Dr Gemma Sharp on body image issues

ABC Catalyst will be airing an episode on Tuesday 22 February, 8.30pm, "Forever Young? The Rise Of Injectables". It will feature Central Clinical School's Dr Gemma Sharp (pictured being interviewed by a journalist on Zoom for the episode) talking about body image concerns.

Australians spend over a billion dollars on injectable treatments annually and clients seeking tweakments are getting younger. The Catalyst episode explores the psychology behind this trend and the consequences of pursuing youth and perfection.
