AB Good  medical  practice  is  your  best  defence—practice  as  a  doctor,  not  a  lawyer  (or  as  a  lawyer  thinks  you  should  practice).Knowing  when  (and  how)  to  say  ‘no’  is  one  of  the  most  important  skills  to  reduce  your  medico-legal  risk.Every  doctor  makes  mistakes.  It  is  how  you  deal  with  these  that  shows  your  professionalism.  The  only  real  mistake  is  the  one  from  which  we  learn  nothing.The  worst  thing  you  can  do  when  dealing  with  complaints,  claims  and  disciplinary  matters  is  to  be  dishonest.You  can  (and  should)  always  obtain  advice  and  support  when  dealing  with  an  adverse  event  or  medico-legal  issue.Your  health  and  wellbeing  is  vital  to  ensure  your  patients’  wellbeing  and  safety.
