A panel of leading clinicians will lead the audience through a hypothetical discussion that begins with the corridor conversations about the performance of a colleague.

The panel will provide a diverse perspective that takes into account the experiences and expectations of trainees and peers, clinical leaders and managers, through to regulatory authorities.

The scenario is designed to engage the audience in discussion about the management of professional performance. Aspects of peers support, credentialing, quality and safety, and public accountability will be explored through this interactive forum.
