Synopsis

This non-technical guide to medical law is valued by doctors and other health professionals who have little time or the legal background to read detailed books on medical law. Law for Doctors focuses on aspects of English law that are particularly relevant to medical practice such as civil claims, legal procedures, funding, complaints, whistle-blowing, disciplinary proceedings, coroners' courts and criminal law.
This second edition includes new sections on recent case law and statutory developments and provides further information about confidentiality and disclosure, and disciplinary proceedings. It will appeal to all clinical and managerial staff, and students, who are involved in the delivery of healthcare.
