MLSQ ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2023

On 23 July 1952 the first lecture of the then newly formed Medico-Legal Society of Queensland was held at the Medical School of the then Royal Brisbane Hospital on the topic "Medical and Legal Aspects of Drunkenness in Relation to Drivers of Vehicles".

This being the first Annual Conference since the 70th Anniversary of the Society in 2022, the Committee has elected to return to its origins by revisiting the important topic of intersection of alcohol, medicine and the law. 

The Medico-Legal Society of Queensland’s 2023 conference theme “A Doctor and a Lawyer walk into a bar:  Alcohol, Medicine and the Law” will focus on an exploration of the social, medical and legal issues arising out of alcohol consumption in society today.

The MLSQ executive has invited pre-eminent experts from a range of professional disciplines who will together contemplate the relevant aspects of this topic. We are confident delegates will benefit not only from the practical guidance offered by our speakers but also the thoughtful discussion of these issues from various professional perspectives.

The conference will be held at the Surfers Paradise JW Marriott Resort, located at the northern end of the Gold Coast, close to popular beaches and attractions. The luxury 5-star hotel boasts brand new guest rooms, award-winning service and a covetable location on the Gold Coast.

The MLSQ Annual Conference provides a wonderful forum for all members of the medico-legal community to connect and discuss topical issues in a social and supportive setting.

Don’t delay your decision to register to receive your preferred accommodation, and lowest possible registration fee.

I look forward to welcoming you this year.
