Synopsis
Medical law is a rapidly evolving subject both as an area of practice and as an academic discipline. This book, written by the leading practitioners and academics in the field, is destined to be recognised as the authoritative first point of reference for all medical law practitioners. Replete with references to primary sources and the secondary literature, this major undertaking provides a comprehensive exposition of English medical law, from the organisation of health care to the legal meaning of death. The book has been designed with the needs of the practitioner in mind while retaining a depth of analysis that will also find favour with an academic audience. The internal layout of the book has been specifically designed for ease of access, and it will be kept thoroughly up-to-date by way of annual cumulative supplements compiled by the General Editors, the first of which is published simultaneously with the main work and included in the purchase price. This is the first major reference work on medical law. As such, it is sure to find a welcome place on the shelves of all practitioners and serious scholars of medical law. This book is intended for barristers, solicitors, judges interested in medical law, medical negligence, professional negligence, personal injuries litigation, healthcare law and the NHS. It will also be of interest to academics interested in medical law, to medical practitioners and healthcare professionals.
