About the conference
After a relatively slow start, medicine and health services
are going online at an increasing pace. This event
explores the frameworks which govern cybermedicine and
health services on the Internet, and investigates examples
where there is particular tension between new technical
capabilities and traditional safeguards and regulatory
models protecting patients and consumers.
This is the latest of a series of continuing legal education
conferences run by the Cyberspace Law
and Policy Centre at the UNSW Law Faculty to assist legal
practitioners, researchers, policy developers, decision
makers and others to keep abreast of the range of cyberspace
and Internet legal issues.
Over one full day it will cover a range of topical areas:
- Electronic medical records
- Privacy of medical data
- Authentication
- Liability for e-health
- Online consumer medical information
- Regulatory issues
MCLE Units: per whole day 6 units, half day 3 units.
