Plenary session
Recent cases - A forensic examination
After the year we’ve had and the distractions that it has caused, its timely to take stock and see what’s been happening in the medicolegal environment.
This session will present a selection of recent cases. What can we learn from matters that have come under judicial and regulatory scrutiny? Hear from our legal team and your colleagues. They will use these cases to illustrate areas of concern and to provide sage advice on providing care and managing professional relationships.
Session 2
Workshop choices (please note not all workshops choices are available at all locations)
The complaining patient
- Very few people who complain want to get involved in litigation or seek compensation
- Litigation is often used as a last resort when all other efforts have failed
- Feedback provides you with invaluable information that, if used effectively, enables you to understand patient needs, improve systems and procedures, and protect or enhance your reputation.
Getting consent right
- Consent is not just about surgery or the risk of poor outcomes – it also involves examination, medication, treatment options and costs
- It is a dialogue: understanding the patient’s concerns and making sure they understand what they should know, and want to know, before making a choice
- Mastering these issues is critical to ensuring good patient care and minimising the risk of medico-legal issues.
Good medication management
- Medication is a key patient safety issue; and prescribing is just one step in good medication management
- Key challenges include systems, patients, keeping up, regulatory requirements and technology
- Thinking ahead and utilising the tools you have is key to avoiding problems later.
