In this edition, we look at how the unification of the health and disability portfolios at a federal level might impact doctors and patients; we talk to the NSW Young Woman of the Year Dr Jessica Teoh; and we explain how AMA (NSW) played a vital role in the recent Special Commission of Inquiry into Healthcare Funding, the first significant review of the public health system since the Garling Inquiry in 2008. We also showcase our dedicated 50-year members.
