Series: Diverse Voices

Illuminating the often-overlooked perspectives of marginalised groups, this essential textbook offers a transformative exploration of health law and ethics.

Designed as a replacement for (or complement to) foundational health law texts, the book amplifies the voices of those frequently silenced in teaching materials: racialised communities, ethnic minorities, women, disabled individuals, LGBTQI+ people and those disadvantaged by socio-economic and structural factors.

Chapters cover key topics such as abortion, medical negligence, and public health, scrutinising how traditional legal narratives can neglect the nuanced impacts on these diverse groups. Contributors challenge readers to reflect on the production and perpetuation of health inequalities, enriching the curriculum with critical viewpoints.

Teaching tools include:

- accessible summaries throughout the chapters;

- critical reflection questions at the end of each chapter for students and teachers;

- further reading lists and links to external resources..

This is an invaluable text that encourages students and academics to engage deeply with the intersections of law, health(care) and social justice. It is an indispensable companion for any health law course, fostering a more inclusive and well-rounded approach to legal and medical education and practice.

Reviews for Diverse Voices in Health Law and Ethics: Important Perspectives

“This book seeks to widen perspectives, giving voice to the ‘otherised’ and approaching health law and ethics from fresh angles. It is both timely and important.” José Miola, University of Leicester
