    Although the existing guidelines about this area of practice are still under consultation, there has been a declared focus on “reforming the regulation of registered health practitioners who work in the non-surgical cosmetic procedures sector in Australia to improve practice and standards, improve public safety, and provide opportunities for more informed consumer choice.”

  • Risk Bites: The Second Victim and the Second Arrow
    Apr 6 2025
    When an adverse outcome occurs or treatment does not go to plan, our patients are often recognised as the only victim in these situations. But are they?

    In this episode of RiskBites, Senior Dentolegal consultant Dr Annalene Weston explores the concept of the second victim, and its correlation with the Buddhists parable of the second arrow.

    Annalene goes on to explain how this teaching essentially encompasses everything that a dentolegal consultant strives to impart when assisting members with a complaint or adverse outcome.
