Experts in health and medical law have contributed chapters to this important volume which provides a good overview for practitioners in the area. It deals with the Australian legal system and its relationship with health and medical law, ethics and the regulation of health and allied health practitioners in Australia…
Practical advice is also given on legal procedures such as compliance with subpoenas. Health practitioners need to carefully balance compliance with the law with patients’ rights to doctor-patient confidentiality. This balancing act is canvassed in this book.
As this book is intended for nationwide use, information and references to relevant legislation are provided for each jurisdiction, although not in detail. As a resource of limited size, issues are only touched on and practitioners should use this book as a starting point for further, more detailed, research. – Law Institute Journal of Victoria, June 2009
