The who, what, why—and what can be done about vexatious notificationsVexatious complaints (or notifications) are a concern for health practitioners, who fear that wrong motives could provoke a patient or colleague to report them to the regulator inappropriately. We hear from a range of perspectives on this contentious issue as we speak to Associate Professor Marie Bismark at University of Melbourne; Kate Griggs, a health consumer advocate and member of AHPRA’s consumer reference group; Dr Sara Bird, manager of medico-legal and advisory services at MDA National; and the National Director of Notifications for AHPRA, Matthew Hardy.This episode provides some defining characteristics of vexatious notifications and how common they are. It also looks at the impact they have on practitioners and explores how the regulator is working to identify, respond to and prevent vexatious notifications from occurring.
