About us
InSight is an electronic newsletter for medical specialists, GPs and other health professionals. It is distributed to the largest database of these health practitioners in Australia.
InSight is published weekly by the Australasian Medical Publishing Company (AMPCo), the publishers of the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA). Its aim is to provide busy clinicians with an overview of key developments in medicine.
InSight covers a cross-section of views and opinions from the various fields of medicine and health care, the latest in medical news and research and some lighter stories to entertain.
InSight is edited by Kath Ryan with medical advice from the MJA’s Medical Editors.
InSight’s registered users are encouraged to offer feedback on the various opinion pieces, blogs, news and research stories and to create a dialogue about issues affecting them and their work.
