About the event
Seminars in Clinical Governance and Ethics: Preparing Yourself for a Malpractice Free Clinical Practice
The medical profession is considered to be one of the noblest professions in the world. The practice of medicine is capable of rendering noble service to humanity provided due care, sincerity, efficiency, and professional skill is observed by HCWs.
However, today, the patient–HCWs relationship has almost diminished its fiduciary character and has become more formal and structured. HCWs are no longer regarded as infallible and beyond questioning. On the other hand, a well-publicised malpractice case can ruin the doctor's career and practice. The axiom “you learn from your mistakes” is too little honoured in healthcare.
The best way to handle medico-legal issues is by preventing them, and this session tries to enumerate the preventive measures in safeguarding HCWs against negligence suit.
