Would you copy and paste a patient's complaint letter directly into ChatGPT? You might be surprised how many practitioners do.

Generative AI can be a genuinely useful tool for managing administrative load, but when patient information is involved, the risks are real and the obligations are clear.

In our latest article, MIPS Chief Medical Officer Dr Owen Bradfield shares practical guidance on how to use AI responsibly, and in a way that protects both you and your patients.

🦷 That’s a wrap on ADX Sydney 2026.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand to chat with Lauren, Maddie and Andrea about your indemnity needs, and how we can support you at every stage of your career.

A highlight of the event was the Women in Dentistry Breakfast. Our Chair, Dr Bronwyn King AO, delivered this year’s keynote, drawing on her work as a radiation oncologist and founder and CEO of To***co Free Portfolios, a global non-profit encouraging financial institutions to divest from to***co. She spoke about backing yourself, learning to say no, and why women lifting each other up matters more than ever.

We look forward to being back at ADX Brisbane this October 👀

Fitness Feb has officially wrapped for another year, and what a month it’s been.

More than 1,000 emergency department team members from 30 hospitals stepped up to the challenge, with the Northern Territory joining us for the very first time. 👏

Together, you clocked an incredible 11,726 hours of movement, a 30% increase on last year. An outstanding achievement, especially alongside the demands of ED life.

From early morning walks to post-shift workouts and weekend runs, every effort reflected a shared commitment to supporting your own wellbeing while caring for others.

Thank you for the energy, discipline and team spirit you brought to Fitness Feb. We're proud to support this community and we're already looking forward to building on this momentum in 2027. 💪
