Video one: What does it mean to be an intelligent regulator? Perspectives on risk, foresight and trustworthiness

This video, featuring Martin Fletcher, former CEO of Ahpra, explaining why there is an increasing need for more data informed, intelligence-led and risk-based regulatory systems. Regulators need to be able to respond to health care disruptors. And regulators need to think in new ways about the public interest we are here to serve. A contemporary approach suggests that regulators also need to engage with big systemic issues too, such as racism, misinformation and environmental sustainability.

Video two: Understanding practitioner distress. Should regiulation be kinder?

Since 2017, Ahpra has been systematically gathering feedback from health practitioners (and notifiers) about their experience of being involved in an investigative or disciplinary process. 

Over the past three years, Ahpra has had a particular focus on a small subset of practitioners who find regulatory scrutiny extremely distressing. Ahpra has also known of some practitioners who have attempted or taken their life while involved with our regulatory processes, particularly in relation to health impairments. Hear Susan Biggar, National Manager Regulatory Experience and Engagement, Ahpra, talk about the key findings and recommendations behind practitioner distress during a regulatory process and the actions Ahpra is now taking so that they can take action to decrease the risks, while maintaining a clear focus on patient safety.

1.5 CPD hours.
