Overview

Law suits and claims being brought against companies are fast becoming the norm and soon it will be no different for the NHS. The Corporate Manslaughter Act has brought with it new legal frameworks, risk management and quality and safety procedures. Understanding the implications of these changes is critical to safeguarding your trust. With unknown challenges lying ahead, this timely Health Service Journal webinar has been specifically tailored to debate changes on the horizon. Leading experts will ensure you master the hotbed of litigation, risk, quality and safety procedures that the act will require you to navigate.

The webinar will tackle the following questions:

• What impact will the act have on your role, your team and your trust and how can staff be trained and educated accordingly?

• Who does corporate manslaughter directly apply to? Who is liable? Where does accountability lie?

• In the event of a case occurring, what are the legal implications and what preparations can be taken?

• At what point does a civil negligence matter around patient care become a criminal issue?
