Reviews for Mason and McCall Smith's Law and Medical Ethics

Review from previous edition This is the gold standard: authoritative, comprehensive, and the most readable account of a challenging subject. * Sarah Sivers, Robert Gordon University * This is the leading treatise in medical law: it preserves Mason and McCall Smith's ground-breaking work and distinct approach, while covering an impressive breadth of material. * Katherine Wade, University of Leicester * An outstanding text... It provides a balanced yet critical analysis of the tensions that may arise at the junction of law and ethics in the field of medicine and sets out a way forward in some areas particularly relevant within today's society. * David J Dickson, Solicitor Advocate, Journal of the Law Society of Scotland *
