Regulating health care quality

"Whom to treat? Whom not to treat? When to treat? How to treat? All healthcare professionals deal with these questions daily. The dilemmas they face are often personally agonising and politically explosive. Guidance comes from many sources: government, conscience, NHS accountants, clinical guidelines, the law and the codes of various disciplinary organisations. The guidance often conflicts, compounding the dilemmas." "Regulating Healthcare Quality: Legal and Professional Issues sets out the various sources of guidance, dealing in detail with the system of civil compensation and proposals for reform, complaints, consent to treatment, the Human Rights Act 1998 and the disciplinary jurisdiction. It offers advice for healthcare professionals and others on how their daily dilemmas are affected by this mass of material."--BOOK JACKET.
