Reviews

'In advancing a formulation of patient safety that protects both patients and professionals and, at the same time, stresses the importance of the role of professional and legal regulation, Quick espouses a pragmatic solution that can be welcomed by all those involved in healthcare. His arguments are evidence-led and persuasive, while acknowledging the practical difficulties of implementing the change he advocates.' Catherine Bowden, Medical Law Review
