This episode of Taking Care is a conversation between Martin Fletcher, the CEO of Ahpra, and Tash Miles. They talk about what Ahpra and the National Boards can and cannot do under the National Scheme, as well as the importance of the many key players in a bigger health care system. Martin explains how the scheme helps to keep the public safe through its various roles and relationships. Martin highlights how the free public register of practitioners is there to help protect all Australians in health care, and how Ahpra is working to inform and engage with the public so that they access the register. We also hear Martin talk about the concerns that are raised about practitioners to Ahpra, how we manage those concerns and what the future of health regulation might look like to ensure it is effective, fair and trustworthy.
