On the insufficiencies of the current legislative regime regarding physician-patient mediation in the professional liability of physicians. A critical analysis of the Polish solutionBek, Dominika (Avtor) Hanc, Jakub (Avtor) mediationprofessional liabilitymedical chamberphysicianrestorative justiceThe article presents a critical opinion on physician-patient mediation conducted in the context of proceedings on the professional liability of physicians. The starting point is the Act on Medical Chambers, which provides for the possibility of conducting a mediation between the accused physician and the aggrieved patient. This regulation is unique in the region. Its specific measures, such as, for example, the choice of a mediator among physicians, have undergone a critical assessment in the literature. As a rule, the need for the functioning of mediation in the context of professional liability is not called into question. However, a thorough analysis of the assumptions of mediation and restorative justice and the function of professional liability of physicians suggests going a step further. Although the physician-patient conflict certainly requires conciliatory solutions, it seems that the disciplinary regime does not provide an adequate foundation for agreement because it is unable to secure the aggrieved person’s interests.20232024-10-16 23:19:39Neznano91050sl
