Managing Complaints and Clinical Accountability Healthcare Training Course

Who Would Benefit

All healthcare professionals who have not received formal training in the subject or who are in need of a refresher.

Course Description

At the heart of the NHS, strategy is service improvement and patient satisfaction. At its’ core lies the principles of clinical governance.

 

This workshop studies the key element of complaints, which organisations must deal with in a timely and fair manner for the public, and what the NHS constitution says are the rights of the individual. This links directly to clinical governance, as does the responsibility and accountability of doctors to ensure they treat this with respect and due diligence.

 

A practical, hands-on approach is used to help doctors highlight their own responsibilities within the complaints procedures (and what they should expect also) and also a reminder of their direct accountability for actions they take in maintaining the Organisations’ key strategies.
