Maybe this needs to be looked at from an insurance perspective. Whoever
carries it out would need robust professional indemnity insurance in place!
It may be worth having that conversation with whoever has requested the
training. It may also be worth clarifying the position with your own
insurers - who would be liable for the HCA's practice. Just a thought!
