PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Regulation of Healthcare Professionals: Law, Principle and Process, 2nd edition provides detailed guidance on the law and practice relating to disciplinary procedures in the health care field. It is a unique “one-stop” practitioner text, and essential reference for all legal representatives; legal assessors; members of Fitness to Practise Panels; and policy makers operating in the field of health care regulation and fitness to practise. 

The new edition apart from incorporating all recent developments in the area, also includes an analysis of Professional Standard Authority’s views on the future of fitness to practise, an orientating chapter on Scottish law alongside a detailed examination of the duty of candour and the developing case law on dishonesty

Key features:
