This seminal book delivers an international examination of the duty
of medical confidentiality and a patient’s right to privacy in
the face of contemporary developments such as cyber-security,
patient autonomy, and the greater reliance on telemedicine post the
Covid-19 pandemic. Thierry Vansweevelt and Nicola Glover-Thomas
bring together esteemed academics from across the globe to deliver
an international perspective on medical confidentiality. Uniquely
combining the concerns of patient privacy and data protection law,
chapters are separated by global regions and outline a number of
theoretical arguments supported by case-specific studies.
Contributors assess which healthcare providers are bound by the
duty of confidentiality, which information is secret, the
exceptions to confidentiality, special cases such as genetics and
privacy, and liability in cases of negligence. Privacy and Medical
Confidentiality in Healthcare will be of great interest to legal
academics, students and researchers working in health law, data
protection law and cyber law as well as scholars specialising in
medicine and healthcare. The book’s focus on effective healthcare
and protecting patient privacy will also benefit legal
practitioners and professionals working in healthcare, social care,
and data management.
Informed consent is the legal instrument that purports to protect
an individual's autonomy and defends against medical arbitrariness.
Informed Consent and Health highlights that possession of complete
information about all relevant aspects of a proposed treatment is
integral to the ability of a patient to make an informed choice.
With patient choice at both legislative and judicial levels rising
to greater levels of prominence, this timely book examines how the
tensions between the rights of patients to make choices and the
duties of doctors to provide health care are managed. This
illuminating book investigates our evolving understanding of
informed consent from a range of comparative and international
perspectives, demonstrating the diversity of its interpretations
around the world. Chapters offer a nuanced analysis of the problems
that impede the understanding and implementation of the concept of
informed consent and explore the contemporary challenges that
continue to hinder both the patient and the medical community.
Containing an in-depth discussion on this fundamental right, this
thought-provoking book will be of value to academics and
practitioners alike. Providing fascinating insight into new
solutions and interpretations, this book will also prove a key
resource for clinicians and health care workers. Contributors
