Fortune Favours The Brave

The adoption of delegated healthcare tasks in the care sector has been occurring for many years, and the pace of change will only accelerate. In this episode we talk delegated healthcare tasks: what they are and why they only make sense when they benefit the person receiving care. Hosted by Richard Lawson, Senior Account Executive at Howden Health & Care.We sit down with Melanie Weatherley MBE, Co-Chair of the Care Association Alliance, and David Taylor, Executive Director and Head of Howden UK Health & Care to discuss the uncomfortable questions: who is competent, who is supervising, and who is actually liable when something goes wrong?From an insurance perspective, we break down why delegated tasks are hard to define, how treatment-only policies can leave dangerous gaps, and why medical malpractice insurance is often the safer foundation when clinical delegation is on the table. The big takeaway is transparency: tell your broker and your insurer what you do, what you might do, and what controls you have in place, because CQC scrutiny and real claims both punish silence.This episode is a must listen for anyone that works in social care leadership, risk or compliance.

Starting a new law firm involves a considerable level of financial and professional risk and can be a brave step in the current economic environment. If this is something you are considering, it is crucial to have an understanding of the most important issues you will need to consider in order to succeed. Neil Pointon, Divisional Director within our Solicitors PI team recently caught up with Ben Trott, Managing Director at Marketing Lawyers to highlight some key issues that are often overlooked.
