Keep Up To Date With Australian Law & Ethics For Chinese Medicine Practitioners with NEW UPDATED Cases and Tribunal Decisions.

LIMITED NUMBER OF POSITIONS: FULLY BOOKED

To ensure better zoom room keeping, compliance and improved degree of engagement between presenter and student- we are limiting our numbers to only 20 participants for the live webinar.

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 a Live Webinar with both Michael Weir and Angela Doolan as they keep you up to date with current laws and ethical guidelines, which might just save your professional reputation one day.

About the Presenters:
Dr Michael Weir is a professor of law at Bond University, a member of the the Public Panel of Assessors under the Health Ombudsman Act and author of “ Law and Ethics in Complementary Medicine”, Dr Weir is the perfect person to keep us up to date with our legal and ethical obligations as acupuncturists and Chinese medicine practitioners in Australia.

Angela is currently studying a PhD at Bond University under Professor Michael Weir and Associate Professor Wendy Bonython. Her current topic is “Protecting the Public from Harm? Optimizing the Regulation of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Practitioners in Australia.”

Angela holds a Bachelor of Laws with first class honours from the University of New England, Armidale. Her honours thesis was on The Right to Health and Traditional and Complementary Medicine in International Law. An article summarising this work is available at the Bond Law Review online at https://blr.scholasticahq.com/article/11881-evolution-and-complementarity-traditional-and-complementary-medicine-as-part-of-the-international-human-rights-law-right-to-health

She is also a Southern Cross University trained and experienced naturopath, having worked for many years in Northern New South Wales as well as the foundational Chair of the Australian Register of Naturopaths and Herbalists (ARONAH).
