This meeting will focus on some of the key medico-legal issues that impact GPs, primary care and patient safety, with a specific emphasis on inquests, clinical negligence and incidents.
This comprehensive programme will review and explore the latest legal and regulatory developments from national leaders in each of these fields.
Limited bursary places are available for GPs on a first-come, first-served basis, email patient@rsm.ac.uk to claim your place.

• The role of Medical Examiners and how they will impact on primary care
• The support, including education and training, available to GPs in dealing with medico-legal issues and how to access practical support (e.g. via the Medical Defence Organisations) when necessary
