MEDICAL
NEGLIGENCE : An Intensive Course On How To Reduce Your
Chances Of Being Sued
Medical negligence ligitation
is costly, complex, emotionally charged, publicised, socially-divisive;
it is lengthy, distressing, traumatizing and cripplingly
so. Often, even when the doctor wins, he has already lost
in other ways.
This 2½ day intensive course
will cover the law governing malpractice and informed
consent, and review the importance of documentation and
confidentiality of medical records. There will be heavy
emphasis throughout on reducing the risk of, and successfully
defending against, malpractice suit. At the end of the
course, participants will gain a good understanding of
the important issues at the interface of medicine and
law, and will learn practical methods to reduce the risk
of being sued for malpractice.
The curriculum will feature
lectures, cased-based discussions, panel discussion, videotape,
and pre- and post-tests. Ample opportunities will be provided
for questions, feedback, and debates. Participants will
receive a rich supplement of handouts and lecture notes.
