Description
Keep Up To Date With Australian Law & Ethics
For Chinese Medicine Practitioners
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”. While these aren’t always the most exciting ways to spend 4 hours of your life, keeping up to date with current laws and ethical guidelines might just save your professional reputation one day.
As 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”, Michael 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.
