This concise, non-technical guide to medical law is designed for doctors with no time or the legal background to read detailed works on medical law. It focuses on aspects of English law that are particularly relevant to medical practice such as civil claims, legal procedure, funding, complaints, whistle-blowing, disciplinary proceedings, coroners' courts and criminal law. This second edition includes new sections on case-law and statutory developments since the first edition and provides further information about confidentiality and disclosure, and disciplinary proceedings.
