Investigations

We publish case reports as an aid to MPS members, to alert them to pitfalls that have caught their colleagues unawares. We believe that these are an invaluable risk-management tool and, as such, they should be rooted in fact – i.e. based on actual events.

Here are some cases involving problems with investigations, published in recent editions of UK Casebook.
