Introduction to Medical Law Summary

Introduction to Medical Law by Peter Marquand

A practical and unique introduction to English law in relation to medical practice.



This book provides doctors, medical students and other healthcare workers with enough legal information to help them in practice, especially if they become involved in a claim or court case. The author assumes only prior knowledge of medical student level and little or no understanding of the legal system/processes.



Dr. Marquand's combined legal and medical qualifications and experience make him ideally qualified to write this new book.
