The number of medical malpractice claims in the independent sector – and their associated cost – is set to rise as the number of patient episodes outside the NHS exponentially increases. Simultaneously the claims landscape is continually evolving. Social media plays an increasing role where the number of claims, their complexity and cost is higher than ever.

Join Neil Rowe, Head of Practice at Maulin Law, and our guest Doug Walker, Medical Malpractice & Healthcare Practice Leader at QBE, for an insightful webinar where we explore the issues faced by those involved in the defence of medical malpractice claims. We will focus on the reasons behind claims inflation and how to mitigate the rising cost of a med mal book, the growth of litigant in person claims and how best to deal with their characteristics, and the increasing pitfalls of social media use by clinicians both pre- and post- claim.

Key takeaways:

• Meeting the challenges of med mal claims inflation

• Managing litigants in person

• Social media tips on avoiding claims
