Fittingly described as 'the single most important source for the practitioner, providing information and guidance on the key aspects of legal and medical practice', this book will not disappoint. Moreover, it benefits from the wisdom of 66 contributing experts on medicine and law." Abigail Ringer, The Law Society Gazette
