Medical Treatment: Decisions and the Law - The Mental Capacity Act in Action, 2nd ed

3 Serjeants' Inn, Edited by Christopher Johnston

"comprehensive and userfriendly...a most useful manual for the legal practitioner" The AvMA Medical & Legal Journal, 2010

Medical Treatment: Decisions and the Law covers an increasingly important area of law, seeking to place medical decision-making in its context and to provide practical guidance to the solution of many problems likely to be encountered in practice.

The book concentrates on the decisions involved in obtaining authority for the provision, withholding and withdrawal of physical medical treatment and care and the legal requirements and consequences of the decision-making process. With a unique collection of valuable materials not easily obtained elsewhere, this important refernce work examines both the general principles and specific problems such as caesarean sections, anorexia and persistent vegetative state.

This new second edition has been fully updated and includes:

Comprehensive coverage of the Mental Capacity Act 2005

Coverage of important case law, such as: Baby Wyatt; R (Purdy) v Director of Public Prosecutions; W Healthcare NHS Trust v KH (tube feeding); and the Baby RB case

Detailed consideration of the impact of European human rights’ jurisprudence on ethical treatment decisions

The latest ethical guidance from professional bodies

Plus four brand-new chapters, covering: new court processes in the Court of Protection and Family Division; deprivation of liberty & restraint; end of life; and human organ and tissue donation.
