Join INNEG for a practical and insightful session with Advanced Nurse Practitioner and expert witness Mr Glenn Smith, as he explores the nursing failings that frequently underpin high-value injury and clinical negligence claims.

Falls remain one of the most common - and costly - causes of injury across healthcare settings, particularly for vulnerable patients in hospitals, care homes, and the community. Despite many falls being entirely preventable, they continue to form the basis of complex and high-value litigation.

Drawing on anonymised case studies, real-world clinical experience, and medico-legal insight, Glenn examines:

Where nursing care goes wrong
How failings contribute to breach and causation
How nursing evidence is scrutinised and interpreted in litigation

This session is particularly relevant for those involved in clinical negligence, patient safety, and medico-legal work.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

✔️ Identify the most common risk factors and red flags for patient falls
✔️ Recognise failings in nursing risk assessments, care plans, and supervision
✔️ Spot documentation issues that can weaken or strengthen a claim
✔️ Understand how nursing evidence is used in fall-related clinical negligence cases
✔️ Strengthen breach and causation arguments in high-value claims involving serious injury or death
