Every patient is different. Due to the ever changing needs of your patients, treatment of individuals must be tailored, while still keeping within your boards codes and guidelines and meeting general requirements. As a medical defence insurer, MIPS is sometimes also notified of the breakdown in communication between colleagues and how this can impact not only the welfare of practitioners, but also the patients they treat.

This webinar will cover some key codes of conduct and the main college guidelines to also help you navigate through any difficult scenarios when communicating with your patients and colleagues.
