Connect Issue 19

In our latest edition of Connect magazine, we look at the recent publicity surrounding Medicare and the implications it has had on doctors.

Our cover story profiles an orthopaedic surgeon member who has fought hard for diversity, equity and inclusion for the profession. We also feature an inquest into a patient death where guidelines were not followed, and another examines the factors to consider when doctors are being asked to treat a staff member.
