"""I would highly recommend this book...

It is high quality, clear and comprehensive and will no doubt prove an invaluable source of reference. Five stars on all counts."" Tim Kevan, co-editor, PIBULJ.COM

This book remains the only text of its kind to cover both the medical and legal aspects of medical negligence. Written by a team of more than 60 experts, it continues to provide the most comprehensive and authoritative guidance on all aspects of clinical negligence claims, from bringing an action for damages to presenting expert evidence in court. It also includes detailed consideration of funding and cost implications.

Those needing clear guidance to make the best possible preparations for an action will find all they need here.

The new 6th edition has been fully revised and restructured, including new chapters on the future of clinical negligence litigation, cardiology, gynaecology, obstetrics, haematology , and also includes coverage and analysis of recent key cases such as:

- Williams v Bermuda Hospitals [2016] UKPC 4 (causation)

- R (on the application of Maughan) v HM Senior Coroner for Oxfordshire [2020] UKSC 46 (suicide in inquests)

The first part, set out in 16 chapters, deals with legal aspects of medical malpractice, including complaints procedures, poor performance and medical professional governance, preparation of medical evidence, settlements and trial.

Reviews for Clinical Negligence

There are certain law books that stand out as in a class of their own and this fifth edition of 'Clinical Negligence' stands tall among them... I would highly recommend this book for those practising in this area. It is high quality, clear and comprehensive and will no doubt prove an invaluable source of reference. Five stars on all counts. -- Tim Kevan * PIBULJ.COM * It retains its place as a key guide for practitioners in this area.I have been looking forward to the new edition and am notdisappointed. There is little in the field of clinical negligence that is not at least touched upon and the text either provides useful guidance (procedural or medical) or at least points in the right direction. -- Phillipa Luscumbe, Partner, PI, Penningtons * NLJ March 2016 *
