The following is an abstract recently submitted to the organisers of a neuroscience and society conference in Sydney. It combines two projects that I’m currently working on: the first, a paper on “the public interest” under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW); and the second, a paper on the Chelmsford scandal from the perspective of the legislative and regulatory history of psychiatry and medicine in NSW in the 1960s through to the 1990s.

I recently submitted the following abstract to Neuroscience and Society: Ethical, Legal and Clinical Implications of Neuroscience Research — a conference scheduled for mid-September, 2017. Please do not use or reproduce this work without attribution.
