Dermatology and cosmetic practices
Tailored insurance cover | Market-leading support from the MDU
In any dermatology or cosmetic practice, the focus is clearly on delivering the desired outcomes for patients while maintaining high standards of care.
Patient expectations are often particularly high for cosmetic procedures, so careful discussions about expected results are key. Even when treatment is uneventful, a patient might be unhappy with the outcome. Issues can also arise when something unexpected or unwanted happens during treatment or over consent issues. As a result, even the best teams can need support in managing patient expectations and complaints.
But these are not the only risks. Problems can arise for many other reasons, including delays with follow up, or administrative errors or privacy and confidentiality issues.

It is likely that those working in a dermatology or cosmetic practice setting will be involved in dealing with a medico-legal issue at some stage in their careers. Whatever the cause, the right guidance, support and defence can be crucial to protecting the business and its people.
