RISK REDUCTION PROGRAM
FMI together with leading medical defence lawyers, Clyde & Co, have developed a series of educational modules designed specifically to concentrate on the areas of medical practice that are responsible for most claims and complaints, e.g. the consent process, patient expectation, record keeping and doctor’s approachability and availability. The modules are not designed to tell you how to perform a clinical procedure. The aim is to reduce the chances of future complaints and claims and to protect you in the advent of one occurring.
Each module includes a real case report and a short multiple-choice test at the end.
The derisk modules are exclusively available to policy holders and you will receive unique log in details for the Risk Reduction Program upon onboarding with FMI
The modules are voluntary, but successful completion of them enables us to approach the underwriters who will take into consideration your reduced risk when calculating your next premium.
The modules are not time consuming nor onerous. Each takes less than 20 minutes to complete.
Currently there are three generic modules, applicable to all specialities. Future single module, speciality specific versions will be rolled out.
