"Give Adequate Holiday Vaccination Advice," Urges Medical And Dental Defence Union Of Scotland
Adequate vaccination advice to holidaymakers heading abroad for their summer
holidays can help to avoid an unnecessary medico-legal claim, the Medical
and Dental Defence Union of Scotland (MDDUS) urges today (Friday, 6 June
2008).
A doctor who fails in his or her duty of care by neglecting to offer
appropriate and adequate advice - in addition to the right vaccinations or
prophylaxis - is taking a huge risk, points out Dr Gail Gilmartin,
medico-legal advisor for MDDUS.
"It's the time of year when people are heading off abroad for a carefree
summer holiday," says Dr Gilmartin. "If they seek vaccinations or
prophylaxis, the advice they receive at the same time must be adequate, or
their doctor risks a claim."
The files of MDDUS include the case of one foreign traveller who died after
contracting malaria. His doctor was accused of acting negligently by failing
to advise him on how to take the drugs prescribed, but also by failing to
advise on other preventative measures such as topical anti-malarial lotions
and mosquito nets.
A six-figure sum settled the case. The number of malaria cases among UK
travellers is down by 12 per cent, according to the Health Protection Agency
(HPA - 2007 figures). However, apparently four out of five (83 per cent)
travellers had not taken malaria prophylaxis and many of the rest had not
taken what was recommended for their destination.
Adds Dr Gilmartin: "Malaria cases are thankfully down, but there is still a
duty of care on doctors to advise patients on how to take anti-malarial
drugs correctly and how to minimise their chances of being bitten by
mosquitoes."
MDDUS is a medical defence organisation providing access to
professional indemnity and expert medicolegal advice for doctors, dentists
and other healthcare professionals throughout the UK.
