Course contents
Part 1
Provides an understanding of whether informed consent has changed legally and, if so, what has changed, how and why. By examining the case of Montgomery (Appellant) v Lanarkshire Health Board, Susan considers how this would have been dealt with by the Supreme Court if it had happened during a pandemic.
Part 2
Susan looks at what could happen after a complaint has been made against you during a pandemic (such as Covid-19), what you will need to be prepared for, how it will be investigated and whether it will be managed differently.
She will also be asking: how is a fair process ensured? Are the rules relaxed because of Covid-19? What are your rights and obligations for a virtual hearing? And might the pandemic provide grounds for an appeal?
Part 3
Susan will explore practical case studies from the time of Covid-19, focusing on a Chiropractor, an Osteopath, and a Physiotherapist. She will discuss the issue of informed consent, the investigation itself and virtual tribunals.
We will be using interactive polls to vote on what you think the outcomes should have been and what they were before discussing the results.
