Call for Applications – Foundations of Medical Law

Medical law is a popular and growing area of interest for health workers who must navigate and comply with the many laws governing their work. Medical litigation has become an area of concern for the Department of Health, draining the health budget and leading to dramatic increases in insurance premiums for health workers in private practice. The course coordinators, in addition to having legal qualifications, have lectured in law and medical ethics in health sciences faculties at the universities of Stellenbosch and the Witwatersrand. They are also trained in medical law.

This course will raise awareness of the legal issues that may arise in medical practice and will meet the needs of health workers for understanding the underlying principles of medical law and knowledge of key court cases in this subject area.

This course has been accredited by the HPCSA for 10 ETHICS CPD points.
