LLM - Legal Aspects of Medical Practice

In recent years the law relating to medicine and health care has become increasingly complex and patients are becoming more aware of their legal rights. This has significant consequences for medical practices and
questions of legal liability and compensation. Changes in the structure of the NHS are also giving rise to a number of important legal problems.

The LLM (Legal Aspects of Medical Practice) aims to provide a sound knowledge of the legal rules applicable to, and the issues surrounding, the practice and administration of health care, as further changes make a deeper understanding of the field ever more significant.
