Overview

Considering issues in modern health law, this volume is divided into three parts, the first outlines the legal system and court structure; the second looks at issues of professional practice such as malpractice law, professional accountability, consent and confidentiality; the third focuses on specialist areas, including liability for pre-birth events, assisted reproduction, mental health, treatment of the dying child, research and child protection. The book focuses exclusively on law in child health care; places the treatment of children in a legal framework; allows health professionals working with children to understand the legal consequences of everyday practice; and includes examples and case studies. Intended for students and practising health professionals working with children, this book gives a concise but comprehensive account of the everyday situations in which all those involved in the treatment and health care of children could and do find themselves.
