Course Outline:
This course covers accountability, duty of care, and distinguishes between negligence and errors. Delegates explore case law, mitigating blame and litigation risks, and promotes safe and lawful practice.
All healthcare professionals must understand and maintain the required professional standards.
Clinical Responsibility is an intensive and practical training day. Through trainer-led discussions and practical case studies, the issues facing healthcare professionals in their daily practice will be examined. Accountability within the organisation and individual responsibility will both be considered.
The extent and nature of the professional’s duty of care will be discussed in light of relevant case law. The distinction between a negligent act and an error of judgement will be analysed. The risk of blame and litigation will be put in context to demonstrate how to practice safely and lawfully, without being hindered by unrealistic fears.
The principles of clinical audit and risk management will be discussed to enable learning and improvement in clinical practice to create and maintain best practice standards.
