Originally held on June 17, 2010, the archived conference is now available for purchase either as a video stream with downloadable link to materials; or on CD-Rom (audio archive with program materials).

As under-pressure health care systems continue to ask nurses to do more with less, those involved in frontline care must be acutely aware of their potential legal liabilities.

This intensive one-day Osgoode Professional Development course builds on and updates the successful programs offered in past years. It will explain what the law is and how it applies from the special perspective of the professional nurse. Equipped with this information you will be in a better position to make sound, professional judgments, and avoid the potential liability traps that exist in your everyday work.

Key subjects are again included: medical malpractice, professional misconduct, consent to treatment, privacy and tackling harassment and violence in the workplace. In addition, a new case study session has been added to deal with common risk scenarios.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be better informed and have your questions answered by some of Ontario’s leading health law experts.
