Connect Issue 11
In this latest edition of Connect magazine, our medico-legal experts share insights on recent member cases to help you manage common dilemmas in today’s medical practice. Some of these explored in this issue include pressure from patients to prescribe, managing unreasonable patient and family expectations, and disclosing health information without consent. We also summarise the key legislative and regulatory changes in 2018 affecting doctors across Australia. Avant member A/Prof Richard Cracknell, Head of Emergency for South Western Sydney Health District, speaks to us about his team’s collaborative project to address ED complaints, which was nominated for a NSW Health Award. 2018 Avant Foundation Grant recipient A/Prof Nola Ries also discusses her research into defensive medical practice, which will inform educational resources for doctors.
