    "I would highly recommend this book...It is high quality, clear and comprehensive and will no doubt prove an invaluable source of reference. Five stars on all counts." Tim Kevan, co-editor, PIBULJ.COM

    This book remains the only text of its kind to cover both the medical and legal aspects of medical negligence. Written by a team of more than 60 experts, it continues to provide the most comprehensive and authoritative guidance on all aspects of clinical negligence claims, from bringing an action for damages to presenting expert evidence in court. It also includes detailed consideration of funding and cost implications.

    Those needing clear guidance to make the best possible preparations for an action will find all they need here.

    The new 6th edition has been fully revised and restructured, including new chapters on the future of clinical negligence litigation, cardiology, gynaecology, obstetrics, haematology , and also includes coverage and analysis of recent key cases such as:
    - Williams v Bermuda Hospitals [2016] UKPC 4 (causation)

    - R (on the application of Maughan) v HM Senior Coroner for Oxfordshire [2020] UKSC 46 (suicide in inquests)

    - Darnley v Croydon Health Authority [2018] UKSC 50 (duty of care owed by receptionist)
