Abstract
This chapter sets out in summarised form the requirements and the final recommendations regarding the assessment and evaluation of medical professional liability in Europe as defined by the “Consensus Conference”, held in Rome on the 14th and 15th of June 2011, under the patronage of the European Academy of Legal Medicine (EALM), which was attended by renowned forensic experts and lawyers from various European countries. The recommendations, which are listed in numerical order, pertain to the cultural background and minimum level of expertise and competence that the medico-legal Expert and his/her co-advisors must possess, and the logical and procedural steps indispensable for the establishment and evaluation of potential medical errors and/or the inobservance of important rules of conduct.
