This is a short textbook of medical ethics and law primarily aimed at medical students. The content reflects the Consensus Statement of 1998 by teachers of medical ethics in the UK on what should constitute the core curriculum. The first part of the book presents the general principles of medical ethics and appropriate legal background. The second part concentrate on specific topics of immediate relevance to all within the medical profession
Great introduction to medical ethics and law for any student. I’d highly recommend Tony Hope’s A Ver Short Introduction to Medical Ethics and actually found it far easier and more enjoyable to read than this extended version.
