This book explores the legal regulation of nursing practice today and sets it in the context of recent developments. The issues examined include the developments in the law concerning consent to treatment, the increasing role of the courts in scrutinising allegations of professional negligence, the litigation process in the light of the Woolf reforms and the regulation of treatment decisions both at the beginnings and the end of life. A well-balanced readable companion for all nurses, this book sets out the scope of the nurse's legal rights and obligations.
