WEBINAR: Restoring Trust in Insurance by Improving Customer Service
Overview of presentation At a time when the public image of insurance has never been in a more intensive spotlight, this webinar looks at the importance of customer service, both within the profession and to the outside world. Poor service is guaranteed to alienate customers at the best of times and recent events in the insurance world have served only to magnify problems in the eyes of many customers. With almost 50 years of insurance experience to draw on, Bernard Thornton looks at how businesses and individuals can distinguish themselves from the standard perceptions, using time-honoured principles of customer service and applying them to the modern-day technical world of insurance. Case studies and examples are included to bring the principles to life.

For Better or for Worse: cases that shaped our professional lives
This thought-provoking session will provide an insight into some of the more bizarre cases that have had an impact on the insurance industry, from the curious case of the snail in the ginger beer bottle, through to cannibals in a boat and many more. It will focus on how these cases have thrown up the practical and ethical issues the law has grappled with and how ultimately this has impacted on the evolution of the insurance industry over the years. This is a must for anyone with an interest in the historical development of the insurance industry and how it adapts to judicial decisions.

Cii Examination techniques
Overview This three hour workshop (which will include a break) will aid all those who are taking CII or PFS examinations. It is a generic overview delivered by Alan Chandler, who is one of the most popular insurance presenters in the UK, and who has been both tutor and examiner for many different CII subjects. This interactive course will deal with how to impress the examiner, looking at the different examination terminology and what the examiner expects when they use key phrases. The workshop will explore a range of study techniques to see which ones are most appropriate for you, as well as looking at how to time manage both in respect of revision and the actual exam.

It feels like the law relating to insurance fraud is in constant motion. The courts have been grappling with tests such as “fundamental dishonesty”. But could it be that a case involving alleged cheating in a game of baccarat in a casino in London has brought some clarity to how the courts will deal with the test of fundamental dishonesty in insurance claims?
