Comprising extracts from statutes, cases and scholarly articles alongside expert author commentary and guidance which signposts the key issues and principles, this book is an ideal companion to this increasingly popular subject.
Fully revised, this new edition incorporates expanded content, including:

updated coverage of consent and decision-making, including the the Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board (2015) judgment;
the impacts of the EC directive for clinical trials and GDPR on the research use of patient data; and
discussion of other recent developments in the case law, including the 2017 Charlie Gard litigation, the 2016 Privy Council decision in Williams v Bermuda on negligence causation, and the UK Supreme Court judgment in A & B v SS for Health (2017) on funding for patients seeking terminations from Northern Ireland.
Providing a comprehensive and up-to-date resource on this topical area of the law, this textbook is an invaluable reference tool for students of medical law as well as those studying medicine.
