Factsheets


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


These factsheets provide only a general overview of the topic and should not be relied upon as definitive guidance.

If you are a Medical Protection member and need specific advice, call 0800 2255 677 and ask to speak to a medicolegal adviser.

Case reports


We publish case reports as an aid to Medical Protection 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 – 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.
