Medical Law

Reviews / Votes

This is the best text, cases and materials book on medical law around. It explains the law and ethical literature in an accessible manner while still being thorough. I cannot recommend it highly enough. * Dr Craig Purshouse, Lecturer in Law, University of Leeds * The seminal textbook for teaching any aspect of medical law...clearly written with a real depth of accessible analysis and a wealth of resources. * Caroline Chappell, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Chester * 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. [...] This book provides an academic grounding to these concepts and navigates the minefield of medicolegal (and indeed some ethical) issues with ease and substance. * Winner of First Prize in the Basis of Medicine category at the 2017 BMA Medical Book Awards *
