Factsheets


Medical Protection factsheets are short guides to particular medicolegal issues. They provide essential and practical advice for doctors practising in Hong Kong.


Case Reports


We publish case reports as an aid to Medical Protection members, to alert them to pitfalls that have caught their colleagues unawares.

Case reports are a valuable risk management tool and, as such, they should be rooted in fact – ie, based on actual events. However, to preserve as far as possible the confidentiality of the people involved (both patients and healthcare professionals) we have altered some of the details.
