Reviewed by Elizabeth Woodhatch: Third edition with law as stated at March 2006. This is a concise, up-to-date and non-technical introduction to law for doctors, especially newly qualified, and managers. At less than 100 pages, it does well to cover basic principles of negligence, confidentiality, consent and complaints within the NHS. These are illustrated by case law with summaries, including the Herceptin case. There are also interesting chapters on doctors and the Coroner's Court and doctors and the Criminal Law.
