Kurzbeschreibung: The chances of you being involved in a legal case - as a defandant, facing a claim for negligence - are higher now than at any other time in medical history.

So it is vital that you know where your responsibilities start, and end; that you nkow th implications of decisions you make, quite routinely in most cases; and that you are aware of what might happen if you are the subject of a complaint that escalates into court action.

The nine sessions in this conference programme will answer most of the questions you face, from an understanding of law and ethics, though current issues affection the delivery of patient care, the difficult area of consent, the Human Rights Act and guidance on what happens in court.
