1. PILCH
PILCH is please to invite Monash law students to the public launch event of the inaugural the Australian Symposium for Advocacy-Health Alliances, being held in Melbourne, Victoria on Thursday 15th November 2012.
The event will feature internationally renowned guest speakers:
- Dr Edward Paul, Director of Graduate Medical Education at Yuma Regional Medical Centre, National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership Transitional Board of Directors;
- Elizabeth Tobin-Tyler, Director of Public Service & Community Partnerships and Lecturer in Public Law at Roger Williams University School of Law, National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership Transitional Board of Directors;
- Prof. Pascoe Pleasence, Professor of Empirical Legal Studies at the University College London;
- Peter Noble, Clayton Utz Foundation Fellow, Coordinator of Loddon Campaspe Community Legal Centre.
- Christine Coumarelos, Law and Justice Foundation.
Medical Legal Partnerships feature three core activities: providing legal assistance in the healthcare setting, transforming health and legal institutions and their practices, and influencing policy change. In Australia, MLP is in its infancy. However, there are already several examples of legal services provided in partnership with health services and an emerging interest in adopting and adapting the MLP model for the Australian context.
Proudly hosted by Baker & McKenzie, this event is for those who work or study in the health or legal fields, have an interest in this area, or would just like to know more. Come along to join the conversations on Advocacy Health Alliances in Australia.
Date: November 15th, 2012
Time: 6.00 – 8.00 pm
Location: Baker & McKenzie, 19/181 William St, Melbourne
Cost: $25
