title: [Legal requirements for continuing education and legal control].
abstract: The patient has a claim to treatment commensurate with the standard of an experienced specialist. He who performs a service in which he is incompetent or no longer competent increases the risk of the treatment and at the same time exposes himself to the accusation of criminal responsibility. The systematic provision of continued education and advance training is essential to guarantee professional qualifications. This also includes the requisite organization (procedural quality) and the provision of appropriate personnel, equipment and premises (structural quality) at the place of surgery.
