Some of the most important and best lessons in a doctors career are learnt from unfortunate mistakes. However, an awareness of the common causes of medical error and developing positive behaviours, can reduce the risk of mistakes and litigation. Written specifically for GP trainees and their trainers, and unlike any other clinical management title available, Avoiding Errors in General Practice identifies and explains the most common errors likely to occur in a practice setting - so you wont repeat them. This brand new guide uses case scenarios based on real-life events, and provides clinical teaching points and strategies to help you engage in safe practice throughout your career. The cases are complemented by insight into how best to deal with complaints, and subsequent potential medico-legal consequences, helping to reduce your anxiety when working with patients. Invaluable during the Foundation Years and beyond, Avoiding Errors in General Practice is the perfect guide to help tackle the professional and emotional challenges of life as a GP.
