Explanation
A statutory Duty of Candour is a legal obligation for healthcare providers to be open and honest with patients when something goes wrong with their treatment or care, causing or having the potential to cause significant harm. This duty is specifically raised when a Notifiable Safety Incident has taken place, as it directly impacts patient safety and care standards.
