Mason and McCall Smith's Law and Medical Ethics Reviews

Review from previous edition This is the gold standard: authoritative, comprehensive, and the most readable account of a challenging subject. * Dr Sarah Christie, 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 excellent textbook. The content is clearly argued, well-referenced and interesting to read. It is the most accessible yet comprehensive textbook I am aware of on this subject. * Highly Commended 2017 BMA Medical Book Awards *
