Mistakes during medical care can occur anywhere in the healthcare system (European Commission, 2006). \u00a0In Greece, the assessment of the nature and total financial burden of medical errors is difficult and cannot be accurately approached, due to the lack of data from an organized information system (Riga et al., 2014). According to the Eurobarometer of the European Commission (2014), 78% of the Greek respondents think it is likely patients could be harmed by hospital care and 71% of the respondents think it is likely patients could be harmed by non-hospital healthcare. Moreover, 20% of the Greek respondents have -personally or through a member of their family- experienced an adverse event while receiving healthcare (European Commission, 2014). Generally, the amount and level of compensation awarded by courts for medical errors in Greece is worryingly high, with the frequency and the amount of mean compensation increasing dramatically in the late years (Vozikis & Riga, 2008; Riga et al., 2014).<\/p>\n

Taking the above into account, physicians and other healthcare professionals need to familiarize themselves with the relevant legal framework and, particularly, with the relevant legislation and case law.<\/p>\n
