Over the past few years, there has been rapid progress towards improving accountability and maintaining high standards of care through evidence-based peer reviewed practice. With such change, doctors have noticed increasing litigation, and some have unnecessarily found themselves in troubled waters, often due to poor understanding of the law. This course has been designed by trainees who acknowledge that there is an obvious lack of formal education in the law pertaining to clinical practice.

This course awards 3 CPD points from ACPGBI.
