Publisher's Synopsis
The concept of risk in primary care is one which has previously been misunderstood by practitioners. Risk has only been defined in relation to clinical malpractice; until recently the inherent risks involved in running a practice have not been considered.
Most risks can be assessed and managed, even if they are not preventable, and 'Risk Management: Health and Safety in Primary Care' offers guidance on best practice procedures. This book is written by a practising primary care practitioner and encompasses all the current laws and recommendations concerning health and safety at work as well as looking at appropriate training of staff employed in primary care.
