Live webinar through Microsoft Teams

Join BN’s national Health and Life Sciences team as we reflect on the key legal and regulatory developments that have shaped the health and life sciences sectors over the past year.

In this engaging lunchtime webinar, our team will review significant updates and explore relevant case law, legislation, disciplinary decisions and inquests, delving into timely and thought-provoking issues such as:

  • How far does a hospital’s duty of care extend? Patient falls, post-procedure monitoring and the limits of reasonable precautions.
  • Yes’ under duress: why hospital policies cannot override patient autonomy.
  • When the Medical Council gets it wrong: the misuse of emergency powers against an experienced surgeon.
  • Can trauma explain inconsistencies in a patient’s account? Assessing memory and credibility in professional misconduct proceedings.
  • When a migraine diagnosis masks a fatal neurological condition: missed warning signs, diagnostic errors and failure to listen to a patient’s family.
  • The impact of AI on life sciences and healthcare liability.

This session is designed for medical and legal professionals, claims managers, employers and anyone working in or connected to the health and life sciences sectors.
