Cognitive bias in clinical practice

Taking place on Tuesday 18 March from 1pm to 3pm, this interactive course is designed for doctors and other clinicians working in healthcare environments, particularly in the area of diagnosis.

This two-hour interactive course acts as an introduction to the potential effects of cognitive bias on the practice of medicine.

This course expands on areas covered in the existing MDDUS on demand webinar on this topic, by allowing members to explore the subject in greater detail. It examines current research into the origins and types of bias, provides examples of selected types in the practice of medicine and suggests some practical steps that can be taken to mitigate associated risks.

This course is led by MDDUS risk adviser, Alan Frame.

It is designed for doctors and other clinicians working in healthcare environments, particularly in the area of diagnosis.

Application has been made to the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK for 2 CPD credits.
