Justice for children, families and colleagues: Essential medico-legal skills for all

About this workshop

There is a serious shortage of experienced paediatricians prepared to act as experts. This workshop provides practical guidance on how to get involved, work effectively with lawyers, develop skills in report-writing and court appearances, and establish a medicolegal practice. It will cover both civil litigation for alleged negligence and safeguarding work for the Family Courts.

Participants will gain insight into a stimulating and rewarding area of practice that directly contributes to the GMC domains of maintaining good medical practice, while enhancing professional confidence and competence in medicolegal work.
