Welcome Letter

Dear Exec,

The 21st Annual Medico Legal Congress, now the longest running and most successful event of its kind in Australia, returns to Sydney with an outstanding line-up of industry leaders addressing the current, major medico legal challenges in Australian healthcare. Striking a balance between the responsibilities of health practitioners and the rights of their patients is challenging and at times controversial, with laws and regulations continuously changing. This years program has been thoroughly researched to bring you up to date with developments and trends in todays medico legal space. It will focus on a range of topics including:

• Developments in national registration and mandatory reporting
• The medico legal risks and benefits of the personally-controlled E-Health records
• Moving towards a culture of open disclosure and informed consent
• The release of the advanced care directives framework
• Medical compensation under the National Disability Insurance Scheme
• Healthcare complaints and their relationship to other boards
• Continuing ethical and legal concerns around organ donation and transplantation
• Medico-liability issues and the supervision of junior medical officers
• Implications of Qui Tam Laws for Fraud in Medico Legal Practice in Australia
• and much more..
  

Join the discussion about crucial medico legal concerns and advance your understanding of approaches taken by both medical and legal leaders in this industry.

I look forward to welcoming you in March.

Yours Sincerely,

Risha Premarajah
Conference Producer
