pdf, 121.45 KB Getting it right - avoiding medico-legal pitfalls in primary care course agenda
Future dates for this course will be announced.
We are offering this as a virtual course.
You never know how a clinical contact might develop, innocuous contacts can spiral out of control unexpectedly, even if you weren't aware that it didn't go well for the patient.
This interactive course for GPs and practice managers highlights the processes and investigations that can arise from a single clinical incident and how to get it right when things go wrong.
As well as providing techniques to help you deal with these situations, there will be an opportunity for discussion and group work.
The case study in this course focuses on the NHS complaints procedure in England.

Very informative, reassuring as well as providing a wake up call.
It was a really great course; I learnt so much and it was so relevant to general practice. The case study was so helpful to work through.
