Conferences

The MIIAA 4th Medical Indemnity Forum is being held on 17 September at the Hotel Realm in Canberra.

As Australian doctors need the security of medical indemnity to practise medicine, the medical indemnity industry is a major player in the provision of suitable healthcare in this country.  The Medical Indemnity Industry Association of Australia (MIIAA) is the industry association for Australian based medical indemnity insurers and the MIIAA Annual Forum is a unique event  providing the opportunity for all stakeholders in the healthcare sector to understand how the national health environment impacts on the operations of and decisions made by medical indemnity insurers.

With some recent significant changes and initiatives in healthcare, this year's Forum will examine the impact of:

• National registration
• Electronic records
• Long Term Care Scheme
• Indemnity for midwives

The programme also includes:

• An innovative hypothetical involving plaintiff and defence lawyers working with a skilled  mediator to demonstrate how the final outcome of a high cost claim can be determined.
• A session revisiting Open Disclosure, identified internationally as important, where the speakers will consider whether Open Disclosure actually makes a difference for consumers and practitioners.

In addition to the valuable learning and information exchange int eh programme, the Forum will provide networking opportunities with delegates able to informally discuss the issues with representatives from various areas of medical indemnity and healthcare sectors.
