Details

This concise book provides readers with practical guidance to help them to both avoid errors and develop robust processes to protect themselves and their patients, as well as dealing appropriately with complains and litigation, when things do go wrong. Free of complex legal terminology, the book outlines key concepts in medical law and how these may be applied to clinical situations in both hospital and community settings.

Key Features:

  • Supported throughout with case examples, accompanied by commentaries from experienced clinical specialists
  • Both medical and legal perspectives are reflected in the experienced editor team

Incorporating case law with practical studies, legal information is supplemented by clinical commentaries from a range of specialists representing the perspective of the health care practitioner.
