Medical disciplinary Law


Medical disciplinary matters

Of course, nobody that provides health care expects or wants to to receive a disciplinary complaint. Yet it any BIG-registered healthcare provider may be confronted with medical disciplinary matters. A disciplinary complaint can have an tremendous impact. Especially a disciplinary complaint that is personal and does not tell whole story, can provide a feeling of injustice.

As a healthcare provider, you are required to put your own emotions aside in such a case and focus on the disciplinary procedure. Often, a response to the complaint is required within a short period of time, not only examining the medical aspects of a complaint, but also the legal aspects. Disciplinary proceedings can therefore be a huge distraction from your day-to-day work, which can provide added pressure on your performance and enjoyment of your work. Disciplinary proceedings may also in some cases have an impact on a healthcsare provider’s private life.

You should take every disciplinary complaint serious an seek the assistance of a legal professional. Professional assistance in disciplinary proceedings reduces the burden so that you can remain fully focused on your work and provide healthcare to others.
