Titles & Abstracts:
Rescuing Medical Education (Confernece 18 Feb 2005).
These questions need answers: Is Medical Education in Crisis? - and if so, who and what is responsible? Are we downgrading basic sciences? Are our teaching hospitals failing our medical students? How do we assess overseas trained medical education and those who claim to be competent medical actitioners? What is the acceptable standard?
Why private medical schools? Will more medical schools help or hurt standards?
What is the future of post graduate medical training?

Australian Insurance Law Association Seminar Motor Accidents Compensation Act 1999
There continues to be a very great lack of general community understanding of our motor accident third party system. It is and always has been a somewhat complex and bewildering legal and insurance structure to the vast majority of citizens including many lawyers and most individuals who do sustain injury and loss in motor vehicle accidents. ... The 1999 Act involves further substantial and far-reaching structural change certainly the most significant change since the abolition Transcover and the enactment of the Motor Accidents Act, 1988. ... The introduction of the 10% whole person impairment threshold for non economic loss together with a largely non court administered assessment procedure will be a measure which should impact significantly on claimant behaviour and claim numbers in the short, medium and long term.

Managed Care and Competition Law Conference - Medico-Legal Society of Queensland & ADF - Brisbane March 1998 (Table of Contents)
... the passage of the so-called Lawrence Health Legislation which determined that in future all parties involved in private health care in Australia should cease co-operation with each other and engage in open commercial conflict in the interests of the consumer. This conflict is known as the doctrine of contestability. ... This legislation also opened the door for the Trade Practices Commission, now called the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) to make determinations as far as the commercial behaviour of all those involved in private health care is concerned. ... The Lawrence legislation will go down in history as the day the Labor Party embraced US style Managed Health Care. ... The US political backlash from Managed Care strategy has now forced US President Bill Clinton, to legislate: But medical decisions ought to be made by medical doctors, not insurance company accountants. I urge this Congress to reach across the aisle and write into law a Consumer Bill of rights that says this: You have the right to know all your medical options, not just the cheapest. You have the right to choose the doctor you want for the care you need. (Applause). You have the right to emergency room care, wherever and whenever you need it. You have the right to keep your medical records confidential.

Public Health And Road Safety Conference: Why Can't We Live With Our Roads? (Table of Contents)
This conference was one of a series originated by the Australian Doctors Fund in order to examine topical issues of social and medical concern. They have been organised in association with other bodies, and in this case with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. The road toll touches us all. Roads, road funding, driver errors and education, motor vehicle design: all, are the subject of intense debate and much vigorous research. Despite recent improvements, people continue to die at an unacceptable rate on Australian roads. The issue was tragically highlighted only months before the conference by two of the country's worst-ever crashes. Yet so many measures of proven potential benefit lie unused, or implemented at a snail-like pace which is governed by the availability of scant resources. It was to examine why blocks to progress still exist that the Australian Doctors' Fund and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons called this conference. Both organisations consider that an approach to road trauma which is based on the principles of public health is fundamentally necessary to successful action. This was a discussion based meeting, and speakers were not requested to submit written papers. Some did so, and they have been included in these proceedings. Otherwise, the oral presentations and discussions have been edited only to improve readability. (Year: 1990 doc_id:22)

Professional Independance: General Practice Today - Problems & Solutions - Conference (Table of Contents)
What has given rise to this meeting is that over the a time when I and others have been moving around the country raising funds for the Doctors? Fund, we were told repeatedly that we were not doing anything for general practice and what you need is a summit for general practice. Well, this is the result of those words. I am looking forward in the next two days to hearing the problems and the solutions.

Medical Manpower Conference - ADF 1990 (Table of Contents)
Medical manpower is one of the most important issues that the medical profession has to face. There is increasing evidence of a direct relationship between the number of doctors and the total costs generated by the health care system. Not only does an oversupply of doctors impinge on costs but it also, and more importantly, threatens standards. ... the Medical Workforce Data Review Committee of the Australian Medical Council presented data to show quite a marked variability in doctor/patient ratios across the states with a best estimate of one doctor to 470 people. ... it would seem imperative to have information on exactly how many doctors are practising and how many others are eligible to practise in Australia. ... marked differences between states as to whom they will or will not register. Topics: Medical Workforce Survey, The Medical School Perspective, Predicting Future Trends, College's Perspectives, AMC Examination, Community Perspective (Year: 1990 doc_id:29)
