Webinar recorded 16th June 2024.

Webinar Description

Ever since Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have become registered professions with AHPRA, we’ve had to maintain a minimum of 4 CPD points per year of “professional issues”.

Join us for this recorded 4 hour webinar with both Professor Michael Weir and Angela Doolan as they keep you up to date with current updates to health law and ethical clinical practice according to guidelines, which might just save your professional reputation one day and help you avoid any potential litigation.

In the 2024 update we covered and expanded upon the most recent health law cases that have occurred in relation to complementary, alternative and allied health professions. There will be a review in accordance with the most recent and relevant cases and updated legislation and requirements.

This Recorded ZOOM webinar will have the most up to date cases available as of 2024
