HPCSA complaint
A complaint made to the Health Professions Council of South Africa about the conduct, ethics, or professional practice of a registered health practitioner.
Definition
An HPCSA complaint is different from a civil damages claim, although the same facts may matter in both. The practical file should include practitioner details, dates, treatment records, consent documents, correspondence, invoices, photographs where relevant, witness details, complaint wording, and what outcome is being sought from the regulator.
