The eight modules
01The four forums a doctor can be called beforeYou will be able to take any letter, notice or summons that arrives at your clinic, work out which of the four forums it has come from, and know what that forum can and cannot do to you.12 min
02The standard of careYou will be able to look at a decision you made in a clinic and say, in a sentence, what a court would actually measure it against, and write the four extra lines in the file that put that measurement within reach.12 min
03The consumer routeYou will be able to work out, from the consideration a patient actually paid, which commission a complaint against you would go to, on what clock, and which three documents in your own practice are most exposed on that route.12 min
04Where the criminal law sits, and what protects a registered practitionerYou will be able to look at a police visit or a private complaint and work out, from the face of it, which provision is being invoked, whether the offence is bailable, and which procedural steps have to happen before anyone can proceed against you or arrest you.12 min
05RecordsYou will be able to say, for any document in your clinic, how long you must hold it, who is entitled to a copy and in what time, and what you must never do to it once anything has gone wrong.12 min
06ConsentYou will be able to look at your own consent form and tell whether it would actually hold, on scope, on who signed it, and on whether the patient understood it.12 min
07The first seventy two hours after something goes wrongYou will be able to work through the first seventy two hours after an adverse event in a fixed sequence: what you record and how, what you must not touch, who has to be told and when, and where a police intimation duty actually exists as opposed to where people say it does.12 min
08Indemnity, and what your policy does not coverYou will be able to read your own policy schedule and wording against a fixed set of structural questions, and put those questions in writing to your own insurer or broker.12 min
This is education, not advice on your matter. Nothing in the primer is advice about any particular patient, complaint, notice or case, and reading it does not create a relationship of adviser and client.
It is not clinical teaching. No module tells you how to treat anybody.
Nothing is promised as an outcome. No course prevents a complaint, and none of this guarantees how any forum will decide anything.
Where a matter needs a lawyer, we say so. Representation before any forum, and any formal legal opinion, is arranged separately with an empanelled advocate of the High Court of Bombay and is charged separately.
