Reviews / Votes
The great thing about this book is that it is scholarly and extremely accessible...the author has combined accessibility with academic rigour. * Margaret Brazier, Professor of Law, University of Manchester * It is a compelling read, which has gone a long way to reconceptualising key medico-legal concepts. It has a linear and profoundly rational approach to readily misunderstood concepts, the three Cs capacity, consent and confidentiality. - BMA Medical Book AwardsMore details
