AMA Victoria
A fantastic afternoon at
our sold-out gathering for
retired doctors at Young and
Jackson, where attendees
heard from our special
guest presenter, Laureate
Professor Peter Doherty.
Professor Doherty shared
his unique insights into the
post-election landscape
and delved into his
adventures in public science
communication, including
his extensive experience in
making complex scientific
topics accessible to
the public.
Thank you to all who
attended, we look forward
to the next retired doctors'
event in March next year!
Kay Bloom
[On the inquiry into
women’s pain]: “This inquiry
is such an important step
towards addressing women’s
pain and the broader impact
it has on health equity.”
Roisin Worsley
[On AMA Victoria’s advocacy
regarding parental leave
payments to doctors on
fixed term contracts]:
“Great to see AMAV’s focus
on equity. Health services
that aren’t fair to their own
employees aren’t likely to
be fair to patients either.”
