When health practitioners are involved in civil litigation or are investigated by AHPRA, Medicare, Drugs & Poisons authorities, your hospital or by others, the personal impact on members can often be dramatic. Feelings of anger, defensiveness, regret, loss of confidence and stress are just some of the potential impacts.
In this important webinar for all members , we discuss the potential personal effect on health practitioners involved in such matters .Practitioners often feel helpless and do not know where to turn to, keeping the issues to themselves, not obtaining the expert advice they need so much .
There is increasing research regarding these widely recognised consequences and an increasing wealth of practical advice on how to manage these often difficult times.
The webinar will discuss some of the frequent professional and personal consequences that practitioners experience at such times and the various mitigating strategies that can be adopted to minimise adverse impact. In addition, it will become clear how MIPS can advise, assist, support and represent practitioners practising under such adversity.
The webinar comprises of a combination of didactic presentation, video vignettes, case studies and a Q & A session.
