Patient safety framework: webinar

Learn how to prioritise patient safety and overcome the challenges of raising concerns in healthcare.

21 September 2023

Length: 1:00:00

Where patient safety is being put at risk, no matter what the reason, doctors have an obligation to raise concerns to prevent harm. The prospect of speaking up can be very daunting, especially for a resident ('junior') doctor and especially when the concerns may relate to a senior colleague or systems in their employing hospital.

Hosted by the MDU's medico-legal advisers, Dr Mike Devlin and Jerard Ross, this webinar highlights resources that can help prepare you to speak up.
