Clinical Negligence in General Practice

This practical guide explores the issues arising from negligence, explains how the law works in simple positive terms, and illustrates how and why errors occur through the use of case studies. Contributions from experienced doctors and lawyers outline new changes in the law relating to personal injury, the differences between English and Scottish law and the responsibilities of the General Medical Council.
This book explains to general practitioners and those who work with them, how to minimise risks, how to react to an allegation and what may be involved thereafter.
