Accessible, challenging and interesting, the book allows the reader to relate to the issues covered, including confidentiality, informed consent, abuse, the rights of the disabled, and end of life decisions. Pertinent quotes enliven the text throughout, while thinking points encourage reflection. Each chapter provides easy-to-follow guidance to this complex area. By focusing on principles of law and including clear outlines of essential case law, the author lays a solid foundation that will serve the reader requiring an introduction to law, ethics and the rights of the patient throughout their training and beyond.
