Reviews
Review from previous edition This is the best text, cases and materials book on medical law around. It explains the law and ethical literature in an accessible manner while still being thorough. I cannot recommend it highly enough. * Dr Craig Purshouse, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Liverpool *
The seminal textbook for teaching any aspect of medical law...clearly written with a real depth of accessible analysis and a wealth of resources. * Caroline Chappell, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Chester *
This has been my go-to medical law book for as long as I can remember. It combines comprehensive coverage of medical law issues and a wonderfully engaging writing style. The chapters are really well structured and the choice of a diverse range of extracts ensures that the book covers so much ground and incorporates many different viewpoints. But importantly, the author's confident voice accompanies the reader throughout the book and makes for a comfortable and enriching learning experience. * Dr Oliver Quick, Reader in Law, University of Bristol *
