Format:Hardcover
This is the very best introductory book on UK medical law and ethics. The only problem with it until recently was that it was out of date; the new edition rememdies this. It remains hugely readable, concise, informative, well written and enjoyable. If you just want a book on medical law and ethics because you are interested in the subject, this is it...if you are a student, view it as essential reading!

Format:Paperback
I am interested in the ethics of embryonic stem cell research and someone recommended I read this book. I'm not one for legal jargon so was apprehensive, but this is a brilliant resource and contains some absolutely fascinating information about all areas of medical law. Some parts were a little tough for me but this is primarily a law text (and I'm not a lawyer). I was very pleased to find it far from daunting for the most part.

More than just a collection of references of court cases, this book presents the reader with a more ethical view of the law as regards medicine. A must for medical students and doctors alike

Readily approachable

Good, could be better
This book is undoubtedly a good introduction to the highly complex area of medical law, however I do have some reservations. Read more

Good for basics but far too old now
The book is a good basic guide to medical law, but things have moved on a great deal since 1992 and much of the law is now out of date. An updated version would be very useful. Read more
