John Mallios, former Convenor for Medical Panels, provided his clinical and medicolegal insights.

The role of medical reports in the description of disability and impairment and the establishment of total and permanent disability were also among topics covered by speakers, while Zaparas lawyers representatives referred to managing patients with workplace exposure to substances resulting in long term illness and disability.
