Healthcare in Australia is undergoing a significant transformation. The sector is adapting to an ageing population, dealing with an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and benefitting from numerous technological advancements.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is rapidly evolving, with significant research and investment focused on integrating AI into patient-focused care and creating systemic efficiencies.

Both the legal profession and the law itself must adapt to these changes—and that includes embracing new technologies. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of options available!

Join BN's Rob Samut in our next First Thursday Club session as we consider recent trends and developments in medical negligence claims, the regulatory landscape affecting healthcare providers, and what the next disruptions to the market might be. In doing so, we will explore:

  • secondary psychiatric claims
  • the rise of the medical expert
  • the peer opinion defence
  • a shift toward more product and software-related claims
  • privacy
  • regulating the supply of medical cannabis
  • doctors on social media
  • the impact of changing demographics
  • the impact of open AI.
