Underperforming Colleague - What To Do course for Dental Practice



This session discusses the complex and often challenging issues of underperformance in doctors across the training grades, and to identify and help to manage and support trainees in difficulty.

By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Differentiate between underperformance and misconduct (personal and professional misconduct) in medical practice
- Identify the underlying reasons for underperformance in medical practice
- Detect the 'early' signs of underperformance
- Recognise ways in which problems related to poor medical performance may present

Most doctors deliver a high standard of care and are committed to continuous professional development.
