Case Management: Regulatory Risk and Safety for Skin Cancer Practice
Determine the regulatory and legal requirements governing skin cancer consultation and procedural practice, including Medicare Benefits Schedule billing rules, state/territory health legislation, professional board standards, and medico-legal risk obligations.
Plan clinical records, consent processes, and risk management strategies for skin cancer procedures that satisfy regulatory, medico-legal, and patient safety requirements across billing, documentation, and clinical governance frameworks.
Overview
Case Management: Regulatory Risk and Safety for Skin Cancer Practice equips General Practitioners with the practical skills to manage the clinical, medico-legal and regulatory risks that arise in everyday skin cancer medicine. Through eight evidence-based case studies, participants explore Medicare billing and informed financial consent, defensible clinical decision-making, and safe management of procedures and results — including procedural consent and scarring expectations, follow-up of uncontactable patients, advertising and online reviews, managing complications, and responding to complaints and regulator notifications. The course builds practical confidence in compliant billing, defensible record-keeping, open disclosure, and effective management of complaints and regulatory correspondence in skin cancer practice.

Mr David Gardner
Course Presenter
David Gardner is a solicitor with a special interest in health regulation. He first commenced legal practice in commercial litigation, before starting work at AHPRA as an investigator. He has worked in a variety of roles, including as the Senior Inspector for criminal prosecutions in NSW and as a manager of large investigative teams in SA and VIC. Concerned by how practitioners were dealt with by AHPRA, David returned to private practice and in early 2019 opened his own practice, Gardner Legal & Regulatory. After six years in private practice, he wanted to find a way to proactively assist practitioners avoid complaints being made in the first place. David identified an absence of CPD online learning for health practitioners regarding regulatory compliance. As a result, he launched a new education portal for health practitioners, Australian Health Professional Development (AHPD) in October 2024.
