In 2019 AMA Tasmania was invited by The Law Society of Tasmania to come together to reignite the solid medico-legal fraternity that had existed in the past. Our first event was an interactive session featuring panelists from the medical and legal professions.
On Wednesday, 20 October 2021, we are once again bringing a panel together featuring members from both AMA, the Law Society and workers compensation insurers who will unpack - Work cover medical panels and what would be needed to make them work in Tasmania.
The forum will also feature
- Claims; the differences between a civil claim and a disciplinary matter, and what patients need to prove to be successful in a civil claim - AVANT Insurance
- Why a health justice partnership would work - Yvette Cehtel - CEO of Women’s Legal Service Tasmania and co-speaker Prof Steven Campbell, School of Medicine at UTAS, Launceston
