Course Description
Distance learning course of 9 lessons
If you work in health care your activities are constrained by the legal framework within which you work. The reasons for wanting to understand the legal aspects of health care are numerous, and range from wanting to avoid the increasing litigation in the health care system and ensuring correct procedures be followed, to knowing the rights of employees and employers. The aim of this course is to provide a basic understanding of the main laws which underpin health care and the work of the professional. Furthermore, knowledge of the law brings with it an understanding of its strengths and deficiencies. This empowers professionals and managers alike, enabling them to press for changes where appropriate.

Speller's Law Relating to Hospitals (Finch, 1994).
Tutor Support
With this course you will have unlimited access to your own personal tutor who specialises in their field of study. It is your personal tutor's role to ensure that you receive constructive feedback and to deal with any queries you may have. You are more than welcome to telephone, fax or email your personal tutor.
You will also have access to a dedicated and friendly team of administrators and course advisors who offer sound and professional guidance and advice when you need it. This ensures that you will never feel neglected and that you will always succeed!
