The Medico-Legal Society of Queensland has invited practitioners to a dinner event on Wednesday 16 March featuring a panel discussion on mandatory reporting and medicine.
The society says mandatory reporting is a tool that is being increasingly deployed in Queensland. It has a role, for instance, in education, in medicine and in youth justice. Indeed, one of the recommendations arising out of the Lawyer X Royal Commission was that it should apply to lawyers. In practice, however, it can present difficult scenarios and lead to unintended consequences as well, of course, as identifying bad behaviour. Â
The after-dinner panel discussion on mandatory reporting and medicine, moderated by Damien Atkinson QC, will feature Integrity Commissioner Dr Nikola Stepanov, emergency physician Dr Alex Markwell, and senior solicitor and medico-legal advisor Tracy Pickett.
