Systematically improving patient safety is of the utmost
importance, but it is also an extremely complex and challenging
task. This illuminating study evaluates the role of
professionalism, regulation and law in seeking to improve safety,
arguing that the 'medical dominance' model is ill-suited to this
aim, which instead requires a patient-centred vision of
professionalism. It brings together literatures on professions,
regulation and trust, while examining the different legal
mechanisms for responding to patient safety events. Oliver Quick
includes an examination in areas of law which have received little
attention in this context, such as health and safety law, and
coronial law, and contends in particular that the active
involvement of patients in their own treatment is fundamental to
ensuring their safety.
