By covering all the major areas in this diverse field, Health Law in Australia 3rd edition enhances the understanding of the discipline as a whole. The book begins by situating health law in its wider context with chapters on medical ethics, human rights and how the health system as a whole is regulated. It then explores the general principles of health law, including chapters on âNegligenceâ, âChildren and Consent to Medical Treatmentâ, and âMedical Confidentiality and Patient Privacyâ. The book goes on to consider beginning-of-life and end-of-life issues, before concluding with chapters on emerging areas in health law, such as medical research, genetic technologies and biotechnology.
