About this episode
Medicine is complex, and as a doctor you won't always do the right thing - but you can prepare yourself for when mistakes happen, both emotionally and logistically.
In this episode of Doctor Informed, Clara Munro is joined by Susanna Stamford, a patient who was on the receiving end of a mistake, which catalysed her interest in patient safety. We're also joined by Anthea Martin, from Medical Protection, who dispels some myths about saying sorry. Ayisha Ashmore returns to the pod to digest the lessons from our experts.
