Patient Rights Training — Course Overview
This training focuses on patient rights and what they mean in practice for a healthcare facility. Complying with these rights helps protect the organization from justified claims, penalties, and sanctions imposed by the National Health Fund (NFZ) and/or the Patient Ombudsman (RPP). Responsibility also rests with staff members—everyday decisions and communication matter.
The course is delivered in an interactive, engaging format, so participants not only understand why patient rights are essential and what the legal foundations are, but also remember the real-life situations they may face.
This training is not a boring lecture—it can be an engaging, practical learning experience based on real examples. During the session, we also discuss when patients submit complaints (and to whom), and why it is worth building strong relationships with patients and their families.
Format: in-person training delivered at the client’s premises or another location anywhere in Poland.
