The new duty of candour in the NHS - we have to start somewhere


The Government will soon introduce regulations that require all NHS providers to comply with a statutory duty of candour.  The General Medical Council and Nursing and Midwifery Council have welcomed this, and have introduced their combined draft guidance in a document headed “Openness and honesty when things go wrong: the professional duty of candour”. 

This cannot come too soon, says Simon Bransby of Morgan Jones & Pett, Personal Injury Solicitors in Norwich. This was launched at St Thomas' Hospital in London with Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Health giving the opening speech. Let us hope that the Regulations are fully taken up and produce the desired repsonse.
