Essential Guides
MDDUS Essential Guides are comprehensive booklets on core medico/dento-legal topics including consent, confidentiality, record keeping and handling patient complaints. They provide an overview of basic concepts and the relevant law but we still encourage members to contact our medical and dental advisers for specific advice in these areas.
