New course on medical negligence – Dissection of a Lawsuit – to be held in Glasgow

In recent years, the medical aesthetic industry has seen a sharp rise in medical negligence claims. With a shared desire to improve patient and clinic outcomes, plastic surgeon Mr Taimur Shoaib and Sue Thomson have developed an informed and interactive workshop, ‘Dissection of a Lawsuit’, which will take place at The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Glasgow on February 19, 2018.

This newly-developed workshop not only provides an opportunity for delegates to learn from medical, legal and insurance experience, but includes ‘real and actual’ case study exercises, both successfully and unsuccessfully defended, helping to prevent and best prepare for potential medical negligence claims presented in the future.

‘Dissection of a Lawsuit’ will review the current legal and insurance statistics whilst discussing considerations when working with not only the patient, but the wider clinic team. Delegates will hear from a variety of expert medical speakers in regards to complications that can arise, focusing on key medical aesthetic procedures, how best to avoid them and how to manage them if and when they do arise, whilst ensuring patient safety at all times. The afternoon sessions will incorporate real, anonymised case studies, enabling delegates the chance to work together in small groups to analyse the study, share their thoughts and feedback on how they would proceed using their new and updated knowledge

The speaker panel will include: • Enhance Insurance, • Hill Dickinson • Dr Cormac Convery, Aesthetic Complications Expert Group • Mike Murphy, General Secretary of the 'Association of Laser Safety Professionals' Association of Laser Safety Professionals, University of Strathclyde • Taimur Shoaib, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, La Belle Forme Clinic, Glasgow.
