It's safe to say that medical care is a blessing to people, especially in areas where medical care can be difficult to come by. Equally, those providing medical care as part of missions outreach are also blessed. As this year's Global Missions Health Conference (GMHC) approaches, many medical professionals are preparing to be challenged, encouraged, and in the case of Dr. Amy, looking forward to where God will lead her and her husband next. Her story, and information about this year's GMHC, is available on our blog: https://lnkd.in/d_zZ7aXN

National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) have announced the establishment of a new advisory committee structure to address Australia’s pressing health and medical challenges. NHMRC Council and the MRFF’s Australian Medical Research Advisory Board will work strategically together to provide advice on Australia's national health and medical research landscape, while a range of other advisory committees will further support both NHMRC and the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care. A call for nominations to the committees will open shortly, including new joint committees and a number of existing committees with new joint responsibilities. Nominations called from individuals interested in the role of research in improving health outcomes for the Australian community, including but not limited to; consumers and community members, industry representatives, philanthropy representatives, physicians and other clinicians, and researchers in all areas of health and medical research and at all career stages.

The AMA is pleased to announce that all Australian Medical Association (WA) members have returned to full federal membership status, effective today.   This positive development means Western Australian doctors can now be represented once again at the federal level as Australian Medical Association members.   Going forward, we will work closely with AMA WA, as we do with all state and territory AMAs, on how we can deliver positive outcomes for all doctors.   Whether it's addressing the concerning viability issues in the private health system; the public hospital logjam; shoring up general practice as the cornerstone of the health system, or the myriad regulatory issues facing all doctors at state and federal levels, the AMA — and the profession as a whole — is stronger when it works together at both levels of government.   The AMA welcomes this new chapter and will continue to drive meaningful change and deliver the best outcomes for Australian doctors.

We are happy to see multiple NH physician voices advocating for the betterment of public health lately. 🙌 Example—the ongoing discussion about medical peer review and oversight in our state. In a recent Concord Monitor op ed, Dr. Nick Perencevich highlighted the importance of HB 322, which establishes a committee to study the NH Board of Medicine. He argues that peer review by physicians is crucial for protecting public health and ensuring quality medical care. Dr. Perencevich expressed concerns about recent changes that have reduced physician involvement in complaint investigations and board processes. Read Dr. Perencevich's full op ed 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEKKfR6c In response, Dr. Oge Young emphasized the value of medical peer review, stating that "The quality of a physician's care should be judged by his/her peers." Dr. Young also raised concerns about the current medical malpractice system, suggesting it can lead to defensive medicine practices and does not necessarily improve patient care.

Amanda G. Lewis and Zach Freed of Cuneo, Gilbert & LaDuca, LLP, along with Robert Kitchenoff of Weinstein Kitchenoff & Asher LLC, dropped a game-changer: an amicus brief on behalf of AAEM in ATS Tree Services v. FTC. Non-compete agreements are choking EM physicians, compromising patient care, and stifling innovation. AAEM is OWNING IT by taking the fight to non-competes. We're standing up for our physicians and demanding the highest quality of care for patients. It's time to break the chains and foster a healthcare environment that thrives on innovation and patient safety. #EndNonCompetes #AAEMOwnsIt #HealthcareRevolution #PatientFirst https://lnkd.in/g-NZKk3Y
