The Medical Protection podcast discusses key and current medicolegal risks and issues affecting clinicians across Aotearoa New Zealand. Our team of Medicolegal Consultants will talk about a range of topics and provide helpful advice and guidance on changes to the medicolegal landscape and how to steer clear of any medicolegal risks. These podcasts will help you to keep yourself and your patients safe, providing them with the best medical care possible. Our first series focuses on explaining and demystifying the ways that health meets the law. Our first podcast in this series will explain the benefits of membership with Medical Protection. The remainder of the series will explore the different avenues complaints may find their way to you and how to navigate each process.
In this HDC case, a patient is admitted to ED with abdominal pain. Communication issues between ED, General Surgery and General Medicine leads to patient deterioration. We explore the importance of good communication between clinicians, good documentation and closing the loop
Our work life spans many decades. How do we sustain a long career? In this podcast we discuss this question with our guest speaker Dr Heidi Baker, who is a Paediatrician, Emergency Specialist, professional supervisor & coach.
You are on call and a patient comes in afterhours for anti-thrombolysis following a stroke. There is confusion about the availability of alteplase in the hospital and you’ve never prescribed this before, in fact is there even a protocol? Where do you start? We discuss learnings from this HDC case where the HO made critical errors which led to the death of the patient.
In this episode we explore what burnout looks like in the senior clinician and how it affects communication. Dr Ashwina Rao, an anaesthetist and trainer in communication for doctors returns to discuss strategies to maintain good communication to minimise patient and clinician risk.
Burnout and imposter syndrome is very common among junior doctors, but this doesn’t have to be you. This podcast looks at the symptoms and strategies to build your resilience in the workplace so that you can thrive.

In the middle of the night as a junior RMO you are asked to provide care outside your expertise. How do you safely manage these situations? This podcast follows a registrar as they navigate a difficult night on call.
Raising concerns in the right way with senior colleagues can be very difficult to do well. What if you’ve been asked to consent a patient for an operation for the first time and you have no idea what to say; or you need to break bad news to a patient. Maybe there has been a poor patient outcome and a registrar has just thrown you under the bus without cause and you need to speak up for yourself. This podcast explores how to respectfully communicate your concerns to senior colleagues without conflict.
It can be difficult to manage our own emotions when the pressure is on at work. Supervision can be helpful to process our emotions and unpack issues underlying interpersonal work issues. On this podcast we speak with Dr Bronwyn Campbell, a qualified GP who offers professional supervision for doctors. She explains what supervision is and discuss which issues are commonly brought to supervision with some strategies that help.
It can be confusing deciding which indemnifier provides the best cover. 85% of doctors in Aotearoa New Zealand choose MPS as their professional indemnity provider. Listen this podcast to find out why.
