Details

With contributions from world-leading experts in obstetrics, gynaecology, neonatology and related specialties, this book equips legal practitioners with the knowledge required to advise on complex birth-related injuries. As well as analysing the legal implications of such injuries and examining key Irish and UK case law, Clinical Negligence and Childbirth uniquely explains birth injuries from a clinical perspective in a manner accessible to non-medics.

Fully updated to reflect developments in expert evidence, assisted decision-making, standards of care and judicial fact-finding, the Third Edition also includes new chapters on:

- Capacity - Genetic Testing - Maternal Death

This edition is an invaluable guide for legal and medical professionals who need to remain current with the law of clinical negligence as it applies to pregnancy, labour and newborn care.

The first edition of this book (originally entitled 'Medical Negligence and Childbirth') was named Legal Book of the Year at the Irish Law Awards in 2016.
