The first considers general aspects of ethics (in the context of medicine); the second section covers the topics identified in the 'consensus agreement'. The content of medical law is not intended to be comprehensive and relates very much to the ethical issues.  The law will be updated throughout including: consent in light of Mental Capacity Act; mental health law in light of Mental Health Act; end of life (depending on outcome of Burke case and the passage of the Joffe Bill); assisted reproduction in light of expected changes in HFEA.  New guidelines to be added: the guidelines and processes around medical research are under review and likely to develop and change; GMC guidelines are under continual revision (the Burke case in particular may have direct impact, but it is also likely that the confidentiality guidelines will undergo revision particularly in view of the increasing importance of genetic data).  The new legal aspects outlined above will require some changes to the ethical analysis: the ethical issues of new technology will be included (cloning; transgenesis and chimera, i.e. forming organisms from more than one species) and stem-cells; resource allocation ethics is moving on to examining a wider range of issues than covered in the first edition and this will be discussed; the whole area of mental disorder and capacity to consent is an active area of ethical research and the second edition would cover some of this new work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49544171258129,"sku":"GOR005286807","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49548012650769,"sku":"GOR002584429","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49623698342161,"sku":"GOR011310894","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53522357027089,"sku":"NLS9780443103377","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0443103372.jpg?v=1751198165"},{"product_id":"medical-ethics-and-law-book-dominic-wilkinson-mbbs-bmedsci-9780702075964","title":"Medical Ethics and Law","description":"This short textbook of ethics and law is aimed at doctors in training and in practice. Medical ethics and law are now firmly embedded in the curricula of medical schools. The ability to make clinical decisions on the basis of critical reasoning is a skill that is rightly presumed as necessary in today's doctors. Medical decisions involve not only scientific understanding but also ethical values and legal analysis. The belief that it is ethically right to act in one way rather than another should be based on good reasons: it is not enough to follow what doctors have always done, nor what experienced doctors now do.\n\n The third edition has been revised and updated to reflect changes in the core curriculum for students, developments in the law as well as advances in medicine and technology. It includes a new 'extensions' section, providing an outline of important developing areas in medical ethics.\n\n\n\n The first part of the book covers the foundations of ethics and law in the context of medicine. \n   The second part covers specific core topics that are essential for health professionals to understand. \n  The third section of the book includes new chapters on cutting edge topics that will be crucial for the doctors and health professionals of tomorrow.\n \n\n\n This new edition includes a new third section that provides an extension to the core curriculum focused on four key emerging topics in medical ethics - neuroethics, genethics, information ethics and public health ethics. \n   The chapters on Consent, Capacity and Mental Health Law have been extensively revised to reflect changes in legislation. Chapters on confidentiality and information ethics contain new sections relating to information technology, sharing information and breaching confidentiality.\n  Each chapter contains case examples drawn from personal experience or from the media. \n  This edition also includes cartoons to highlight cutting edge and topical issues. \n  Most chapters include revision questions and an extension case to encourage readers who are interested in a topic to explore further.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731532095761,"sku":"NGR9780702075964","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50786274410769,"sku":"GOR012282656","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50963041747217,"sku":"GOR011727342","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52735849693457,"sku":"CIN0702075965G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0702075965.jpg?v=1750744059"},{"product_id":"ethics-conflict-and-medical-treatment-for-children-book-dominic-wilkinson-mbbs-bmedsci-9780702077814","title":"Ethics, Conflict and Medical Treatment for Children","description":"What should happen when doctors and parents disagree about what would be best for a child? When should courts become involved? Should life support be stopped against parents' wishes?\n\n  The case of Charlie Gard, reached global attention in 2017. It led to widespread debate about the ethics of disagreements between doctors and parents, about the place of the law in such disputes, and about the variation in approach between different parts of the world.\n\n  In this book, medical ethicists Dominic Wilkinson and Julian Savulescu critically examine the ethical questions at the heart of disputes about medical treatment for children. They use the Gard case as a springboard to a wider discussion about the rights of parents, the harms of treatment, and the vital issue of limited resources. They discuss other prominent UK and international cases of disagreement and conflict. \n\n From opposite sides of the debate Wilkinson and Savulescu provocatively outline the strongest arguments in favour of and against treatment. They analyse some of the distinctive and challenging features of treatment disputes in the 21st century and argue that disagreement about controversial ethical questions is both inevitable and desirable. They outline a series of lessons from the Gard case and propose a radical new 'dissensus' framework for future cases of disagreement.\n\n  .\n\n\n\n This new book critically examines the core ethical questions at the heart of disputes about medical treatment for children. \n   The contents review prominent cases of disagreement from the UK and internationally and analyse some of the distinctive and challenging features around treatment disputes in the 21st century.\n  The book proposes a radical new framework for future cases of disagreement around the care of gravely ill people.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52625661002001,"sku":"NGR9780702077814","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52769956987153,"sku":"GOR013250318","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780702077814.jpg?v=1761656774"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-dominic-wilkinson-mbbs-bmedsci-mbioeth-dphil-fracp-frcpch.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
