This course examines contemporary issues that arise in the modern health care context and builds on core courses such as torts, criminal law and contract law to explore legal aspects related to health and wellbeing. Topics covered include the interface between the criminal and health law; medical negligence; issues at the beginning and end of life; consent, confidentiality and privacy; and other contemporary issues such as public health, medical research and genetic technologies. The course will also consider a human rights perspective and the intersection of law with ethics and morality.
