Description

Nursing staff bear a high level of professional and legal responsibility on a daily basis. Errors in documentation, uncertainties regarding confidentiality or ambiguities about personal liability can have serious legal consequences – often without those affected being aware of it. This seminar provides practical and understandable legal knowledge specifically for everyday nursing. Participants learn to identify legal risks at an early stage, act correctly and protect themselves legally through professional conduct.
