Article Abstract
This article explores the responsibility of doctors requesting radiological examination. Hereto, 215 cases were analysed, that served at the Dutch Medical Disciplinary Tribunals between January 2011 and December 2022. Case law shows that the disciplinary tribunals expect a doctor to look at the images himself, just like the radiologist, to read the radiological report, to critically compare the findings with the clinical presentation, and to have a low-threshold in communication with the radiologist in case of a discrepancy and to discuss the findings with the patient. Case law shows several exceptions to this rule.

Professional Standards for Specialist Medical Administrators: Over-the-top Downunder?
J Law Med

Chief Medical Officer - Goulburn Valley Health, and President-Elect - Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators.
In Australia, there are only two publicly reported disciplinary cases against specialist medical administrators. In the most recent decision of Medical Board of Australia v Gruner, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal confirmed that specialist medical administrators owe patients and the public the same professional obligations as medical practitioners with direct patient contact. More controversially, the Tribunal also held that medical administrators have a professional obligation only to accept roles with clear position descriptions that afford them sufficient time and resources to ensure the safe delivery of health services.

- The Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009 replaced the term "good character" with "fit and proper person" for regulating health practitioners in Australia.

- This concept is crucial in registration, disciplinary actions, and helps boost public trust in the healthcare system while focusing on practitioners’ integrity rather than just their competency.
