Reviews for Clinical Negligence and Childbirth

The 2nd Edition of this excellent contribution to the medico-legal field remains an important part of the medico-legal literature and landscape and remains of immense assistance and help to anyone involved in the area of childbirth and clinical negligence and is a text that is therefore highly recommended. (Review of the 2nd edition). * Medico-Legal Journal of Ireland * Often, a textbook appeals to too narrow an audience, but the author is to be applauded for making this book accessible and intelligible, not only to experienced lawyers and doctors, but also medical or legal lay people. The volume offers a commanding overview of an area that, at some point, touches all of our lives. Highly recommended. (Review of a previous edition). * The Law Society Gazette *
