Duty of Candour

Practice: Curaidh Clinic

Service provider: Curaidh Enterprises Ltd

Reporting period: Curaidh registered with HIS on 4 April 2024

Duty of Candour Statement

Every healthcare professional must be open and honest with patients when something goes wrong with their treatment or care, which causes, or has the potential to cause, harm or distress.

Where this happens, the Duty of Candour procedure requires that the patient be informed, an apology be offered, appropriate support or remedial action be provided, and a full explanation of what happened and any potential effects be given.

At Curaidh Clinic, this duty sits alongside Dr Minha Rajput-Ray's own approach to care: transparency and honest communication with patients, particularly those managing complex or long-term conditions, are part of how the clinic works day to day, not only a regulatory requirement.
