Inquests and their dilemmas; a cohesive review
Naomi McMaster, Chloe Edwards, Andrew Latham and Charlotte Millar hosted an interactive webinar where they considered a healthcare case study which progressed to an Inquest.
Our experts in Advisory, Claims, Employment and Information Law reflected on key issues that did/ could have arisen and how to handle these common themes in future healthcare scenarios.
Some of the points of conversation were:
- Identifying and addressing risk which could give rise to a prevention of future deaths report
- Navigating grievances and disciplinary / performance concerns during the inquest process
- Social media coverage and covert recordings
- Record keeping, allegations of fabrication of medical record entries and record redactions.
- Key considerations for a subsequent claim.
