Episode 51 hosts Ruanne Brell, a Senior Solicitor of Avant Mutual (Australia's biggest medical indemnity insurer) Ruanne has over 14 years experience in the field and provides medicolegal advice to members on a wide range of health law issues.

The doctor-patient relationship is built on trust, established by clear communication, honesty and the formality of paper work such as consent forms. In the first of two episodes with Ruanne, we explore how things go wrong and what we can do to prevent it.

In the first of two episodes with Griz, we go into the basics of optimising communication, the art of listening and learn why men need to stop trying to solve female problems!
