This episode is a conversation about sexual misconduct in the health professions. This is a topic that is not often discussed and, although its occurrence is rare, it can be very harmful to those who are affected by it. Host Susan Biggar speaks with Professor Ron Paterson, Professor of Law at the University of Auckland who conducted an independent review in 2017 of the use of chaperones by Ahpra and the National Boards to protect patients in the context of allegations of sexual misconduct or boundary violations, and Christine Gee who is CEO of Toowong Private Hospital in Queensland and Chair of the Medical Board of Australia's Sexual Boundaries Notifications Committee and a member of the Queensland Board of the Medical Board of Australia. Christine and Ron both have extensive knowledge on the issues, challenges and nuances of sexual misconduct, and they speak with a focus on recent changes in how it is addressed by Ahpra and the National Boards.
