One-Day workshops in autumn 2015, London, Birmingham, Leeds, United Kingdom.

You may not have realised, but a third of patients making a complaint or claim have been urged to do so by other doctors.

When the care of a patient passes between doctors or when two doctors disagree over the best care for a patient this can lead to increased risk for all parties involved. We are seeing the risk from these types of professional interactions increasing and more frequently leading to complaints, claims and disciplinary actions against doctors.

The Mastering Professional Interactions workshop is designed to help you identify the risk factors related to professional interactions. It provides proven techniques and models to reduce risk and improve patient outcomes.

Suitable for
– Consultants
– General Practitioners
– Hospital Doctors
– Foundation doctors
– Doctors in Speciality/GP Training.
