Compliance: how well do you understand the issues?

We can advise on the interpretation of the Good Medical Practice 2006 code.

There are situations where a doctor´s compliance may be called into question by patients. Mere reliance on your medical protection policy is akin to bolting the door after the horse has already bolted. You can protect yourself before a course of action is embarked on by taking legal advice. Although this may not be a complete defence, it may well mitigate a later problem.

It may also assist in a dispute where a doctor's conduct has been questioned by other doctors.
