December 2-4, 2024
Programme Coordinator: Dr. Ashok Kumar Peepliwal

Background

Medical professionals, especially doctors, are second to God and save people's lives with their medical expertise. Legitimacy runs parallel with the medical profession, and how medico-legal issues can be resolved within the time frame is a major concern in the profession. Medico-legal cases are piling up in Consumer Courts for compensation due to medical negligence, malpractices, and case-related problems; corporate negligence is also an issue that needs to be addressed and tackled at the management level to safeguard medical professionals and avoid litigation matters.
Our experts from the different fields of law (Consumer Affairs, IPC-1860 (Bartiya Nyay Sanhita, BNS), CrPC-1973 (Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, BNSS), PCPNDT-1994, MTP-1971, Forensic etc.) and hospital administration make the medical practitioners, healthcare entrepreneurs, pharmaceutical professionals and nursing professionals aware of various rules and regulations, law compliances, good documentation practices, and various acts, are delivering the knowledge of law to safeguard the healthcare professionals during their practices.
This training will be useful for healthcare professionals involved with patient care and hospital services. Healthcare professionals are naive in legislation related to the healthcare profession in the areas of Indian laws, clinical risk management, hospital management, and patient safety as a part of their profession.
The patient-doctor relationship is based on the outcomes of the treatments given to the patient and the subsequent recovery of the patient, but if the safety of the patient is compromised inadvertently with an unwanted and irreversible injury, then litigation matter is required to be controlled, handled, and resolved as per laws.
This program is designed to provide an adequate understanding of medico-legal documentation, informed consent process (what, when, how, why and for whom), medico-legal examination in cases of sexual assault, medico-negligence, doctor protections under the law, fingerprinting, which may keep aloof to a medical practitioner from any lawsuit matters in future. The learning will be acquainted with deal with day-to-day medico-legal cases at the individual level and hospital level as a vicarious liability to sort out the medicolegal issues.
This acquired knowledge or skills will be further applied to improve patient safety and care in a better way to protect doctors from any legal trials, eloquently or innocently.
