Reporting a health-care-related incident




Accompanying a patient in the event of damage requires appropriate communication, especially as this undesirable event can damage the existing relationship of trust. The fear of the emergence of a conflictual relationship with the patient, which could lead to a claim or even litigation, is a major concern. This training course will enable you to understand all the legal and regulatory aspects of the subject, and to report any damage in complete safety, with a view to the well-being of both patient and nursing staff.
