内容説明

The concept of risk in primary care is one which has previously been misunderstood by practitioners. Previously 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. Effective management of risk results in decreased cost of risk to both practitioner and patient. This book is written by a practising primary care practitioner. It encompasses all the current laws and recommendations concerning health and safety at work, including discussion of controlling substances hazardous to health (COSHH) as well as looking at ppropriate training of staff employed in primary care. Where appropriate, each section includes a detailed policy on the management of the risks under discussion, which can be adapted for use in individual practices. 'Risk Management: Health and Safety in Primary Care' should be an essential purchase for all medical and allied health practitioners, as well as practitioners of complementary therapies.
