ANZMOSS Medicolegal Workshop 2024

About
This ANZMOSS endorsed one day workshop will discuss the issue of rising indemnity insurance rates for bariatric surgeons. There will be data which outlines the issue of rising costs to practice bariatric surgery and the effect this is having on the provision of this valuable treatment in Australia. There will be presentations around the type of cases that lead to litigation and this will lead to what we can do as surgeons to protect ourselves. A prominent case study will be dissected in detail. We will hear from all relevant parties including indemnity insurance companies who will provide their valuable perspective on the issue.The workshop will include discussions around how to provide an opinion on a legal case with the acceptance that this is a skill that needs to be developed. Ultimately the workshop will try to address what we can do about this issue and how to best protect ourselves
