When your patient is a doctor...

The 2026 Doctors' Health Alliance Education Webinar Series for Doctors: When your patient is a doctor, the consultation can feel different. Questions about confidentiality, professional boundaries, fear of regulation and assumptions can make these consultations more complex than expected.

Join GP and leader in doctors' health, Dr Sarah Newman, for this live webinar on Wed 19 August 2026 at 7 pm AEST. Through a practical case study, expert panel discussion and introduction to the Ts and Ss Model, you'll gain practical strategies to approach doctor-patient consultations with greater confidence.

Joining Dr Sarah Newman will be Professor Helen Wilcox, Doctors' Health Advisory Service WA, Dr Patrick Johnson, Victorian Doctors Health Program and Dr Margaret Kay AM, Doctors' Health Alliance. Together they bring decades of expertise and experience supporting the health and wellbeing of doctors and medical students across Australia.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Recognise the unique factors that influence consultations with doctor-patients.
• Apply the Ts and Ss Model to support safe and effective collegiate care.
• Use practical strategies to strengthen communication, professional boundaries and continuity of care.
