pdf, 68.67 KB Avoiding medico-legal pitfalls in primary care course agenda
Future dates for this course will be announced.
Concerns can arise from the most seemingly harmless of situations, and a number of investigations can come about as a result of a single incident. However, we believe 'multiple jeopardy' can be mitigated by the approach taken when things go wrong.
This interactive course is for GPs and practice managers who want to manage these day-to-day risks better and is free for GROUPCARE members.
