An evening symposium on policy and best practice guidelines in relation to photography and recording of patients

The Australian Institute of Medical and Biological Illustrators Qld Group extended an invitation to all healthcare professionals to attend a special meeting on:

The Dangers of Inappropriately Performed or Unauthorised Medical Photography

It was important that all healthcare professionals who take photographs of patients and procedures attend this meeting, as the discussion was centred on the development of medical photography guidelines here in Australia.
