Product Description
This work aims to provide a clear, concise and non-technical guide to medical law for doctors who do not often have the time and/or legal background to read expansive books on medical law written for lawyers. The book focuses on aspects of English law that are of particular relevance to medical practice such as civil claims, legal procedure, funding, complaints, whistle-blowing and disciplinary proceedings, coroner's court and criminal law. Readers benefit from short summaries of cases, sources of legal information are identified and explained, and there is also a glossary of legal terms, all of which should prove useful to the busy medical professional with an interest in medical law.
