5th MABEL Research Forum 2017
Melbourne Business School
200 Leicester St
Carlton VIC 3053
The Centre for Research Excellence in Medical Workforce Dynamics, funded by the NHMRC, held the 5th MABEL Research Forum on Thursday 25 May 2017, in Melbourne.
Session 1: Getting the Balance Right
This session will examine the issues surrounding the predicted oversupply of doctors and the consequences for the distribution of doctors in Australia, including the role of IMGs in rural areas.
Session 2: General Practice: Organisation and Financing in a Changing Environment
Increasing practice sizes, more nurses, the role of corporates, IT, Health Care Homes, and changes in funding are signs of major structural change in the general practice sector. What impact is this having on practices and access to care by patients?
Session 3: Enabling Work-Life Balance, Health and Well-Being
Oversupply compounded by maldistribution can lead to a more competitive training and working environment that increases the already significant pressures on doctors working lives and well-being, also putting patients at risk. In this context, how can doctors be best supported? Which doctors are most at risk?
