In this edition of Writs and Cures, Dr Nick Carr and Bill O'Shea join David Astle and Monash Health’s Chief Legal Officer Katherine Lorenz to discuss why female lawyers over the age of 50 are dropping out of the practice more quickly than their male counterparts.

Plus Associate Professor Doug Boyle, the director of the University of Melbourne’s Research Information Technology Unit, joins the group to explain how using health data can improve Victoria’s expensive and fragmented medical system.
