Provider: Australasian College of Legal Medicine
An intensive two day lecture series that focuses in some detail on the principles that define the legal relationship between the patient and the health care professional. These principles involve firstly, consent to treatment by both adults and children; secondly that advice and treatment is provided with reasonable care and skill in accordance with accepted standards of care; and thirdly that the relationship is maintained through an acceptable standard of professional conduct. The intensive will provide participants with a greater knowledge and understanding of how these principles are applied by the civil, criminal and disciplinary law in the context of clinical practice, thereby providing an opportunity to further enhance the care of our patients.
