Live webinar through Microsoft Teams

Join BN’s national health law and life sciences team for a comprehensive analysis of key developments in the health and life science sectors over the past year.

In this engaging lunchtime webinar, our team will review significant updates and explore relevant case law, legislation, disciplinary decisions, and inquests, addressing topics such as:

  • Are responses provided by a practitioner to AHPRA covered by legal professional privilege?
  • Who benefits most from medical class action settlements?
  • How are courts balancing the duty of medical professionals to disclose risks with a patient’s right to informed consent in 2024?
  • What happens when a psychiatrist writes a book about his alleged murderer patients without their consent?
  • Can you rely on a Section 5O Defence in NSW if the treatment took place over multiple consultations and many years? Maybe not!

This session is ideal for medical and legal professionals, claims managers, employers, and anyone involved in or connected to the health and life sciences industries.
