Drawing upon a range of disciplinary perspectives, Health Law: Frameworks and Context adopts a theoretically informed and principles-based approach to examining health law. Appealing to students and academic scholars alike, the text moves beyond traditional medical law frameworks to provide a broader contextual understanding of the way in which law intersects with health. A clear and accessible style of writing combined with a sophisticated and nuanced approach takes this rich and challenging field to a new level of analysis. Written by respected academics within the field, Health Law: Frameworks and Context is an essential text for scholars and students looking to grasp the fundamental concepts of this rapidly expanding area of law, as well as those who wish to deepen their knowledge and understanding of health law in Australia and internationally.
'Overall, I am full of praise for Health Law. It is an agenda-setting work … The work is a tour de force in successfully sustaining a clear and compelling narrative structure, a tightly coherent critical approach, and a strong application of the points of theory to points of regulation and practice … Chapters 1 through 5 provide outstanding foundational materials for courses on health and law anywhere, and should feature on reading lists across our curricula. More generally, the book will serve more innovative programmes in health and law. For undergraduate and postgraduate taught students, I could not recommend it more highly. As indicated, I also would recommend it to researchers in other disciplines, and colleagues outside of academia if they really want to understand what health law is about. Health Law is, quite simply, an excellent textbook.' John Coggon, Centre for Health, Law, and Society, University of Bristol Law School
