As a nation, we are all indebted to the talented healthcare workers who strive to look after us when we need them most. Although we all value them, we also must recognise that individuals and the systems they work in make mistakes sometimes. Unfortunately, when this happens in the context of healthcare, the consequences can be significant for the patient. When that happens, Augustus Cullen is here to help.
