How enquiries are assessed

Academic and advisory work is considered case by case. Relevant factors include the clinical topic, time frame, deliverables, conflicts of interest, confidentiality requirements, and whether the question sits within appropriate expertise.

Information to include

  • The nature of the enquiry and the decision or audience it supports.
  • Requested time frame, format, and whether a written report, meeting, or teaching session is needed.
  • Any relevant documents, imaging summaries, ethics considerations, or governance requirements.
  • Contact details for the responsible organiser or instructing party.

Questions

Common questions

Can clinical advice be given through an academic enquiry?

No. Academic and advisory enquiries are separate from personal medical care. Patients seeking medical advice should request a clinical appointment or speak with their treating doctor.
