Medical Law: Text, Cases, and Materials

The great thing about this book is that it is scholarly and extremely accessible...the author has combined accessibility with academic rigour. (Margaret Brazier, Professor of Law, University of Manchester)

It is a compelling read, which has gone a long way to reconceptualising key medico-legal concepts. It has a linear and profoundly rational approach to readily misunderstood concepts, the three Cs capacity, consent and confidentiality. - BMA Medical Book Awards
