Confidence before something goes wrong
Most doctors get little formal training on the legal side of practice until they are caught up in a complaint, claim or inquest. Short, practical sessions give them the confidence to document well, take consent properly and respond calmly if they are asked to give evidence.

What GMC guidance and case law expect, and how to evidence it.
