| Summary |
Clinical Risk Management in Primary Care is a practical guide based on the Medical Protection Society's experience of carrying out risk assessments, general consultancy, education and training within primary care. Each year almost one million NHS patients in England suffer an adverse outcome. Half of these incidents are preventable. Clinical risk management is about the identification, measurement and management of risk. This book deals with each of these aspects by describing many of the risks that are encountered, setting them in context and providing advice and practical tools to enable the reader to manage those risks more effectively |
