OBA Health Law PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

Without a doubt, the pandemic has brought about a heightened awareness of the fragility of personal well-being and workplace wellness. And we know that those who work in the healthcare sector are not immune from the considerable emotional distress and negative impact on their mental health as they endeavour to provide optimum patient care every day.

Join our panel of experts as they unravel how health regulators and employers manage mental health issues, including;

• Mental health challenges in the health professions;
• Relationship between mental illness and misconduct; and
• Non-disciplinary responses to mental health

This insightful program will provide practical guidance for both experienced and new health law practitioners on how to respond to and deal with mental health issues within regulated healthcare professions.
