Medical Protection reposted this
What a wonderful tribute to his mentor. We should all want to be like Professor Cameron. How we communicate with patients is so important. Medical Protection have a dedicated set of communication webinars CLEAR Communication- worth checking out and reflecting on how we all communicate. Log in to our education portal at www.medicalprotection #patientcare #patientsafety #healthcare #communication SDUI Media Irish Pakistani Professionals Association (IPPA) Irish Hospital Consultants Association Indian Irish Medical Association (IIMA) Irish Medical Organisation
In a world obsessed with efficiency, we’ve forgotten what healing actually looks like. Professor Cameron didn’t just treat patients; he created a bubble where they were the only person that mattered. He was a human first, and a doctor second. That’s the vision behind Sukoon. We’re not building a factory; we’re bringing back real, undivided human connection to medicine. Because at the end of the day, that’s what we all deserve when we’re at our most vulnerable. — Saleem Asaria

We also proactively assist members in helping them to reduce their risk while undertaking their day-to-day roles, and as part of this we regularly review and share themes and learnings from a range of past cases. In this article published in Medscape our Medicolegal Consultant, Dr Rebecca Whiticar, highlights some of the common themes emerging in claims within emergency medicine: https://wb.md/4wc8ZRr
