This book quickly established itself as an invaluable guide to this nuanced area of area. Subsequent editions kept pace with procedural and practical changes, and this is especially true of this latest edition … As an experienced clinical negligence lawyer, I found the book extremely helpful as a reference guide – it is easy to navigate to specific issues and the discussions around key cases and also the thorny issue of legal costs and funding were thorough and well balanced. What sets the book apart from the other ‘authoritative guides’ are the chapters dealing with a variety of medical disciplines penned by various experts in their fields … an extremely useful and accessible resource for lawyers in this area at any level.
