Practitioners will have seen a steady flow of cases involving substandard treatment of spinal injuries, from diagnosis (or initial lack thereof) through to inadvisable procedures and poorly executed procedures. Quite apart from claims by the patient the sub-standard handling of spinal injuries give rise to the potential for third party proceedings against the NHS and private hospitals. Mr Jonathan Spilsbury provides the medical perspective in this seminar, Henry Charles looks at the legal aspects covering recent, important, case law. This seminar will be of serious interest to clinical negligence practitioners and indeed to personal injury practitioners.
This is a free event and will be accredited with 1.5 CPD and APIL hours. Booking is required – places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
