This 2020 course was postponed due to COVID-19. We plan to hold it in 2021. Please register your interest to be notified of the new dates.
Course Overview
The ALI examines consent to medical treatment (adults, children) and clinical negligence more closely, particularly in relation to the various Civil Liability Acts or equivalents. Day one includes an examination of trespass (lack of consent) and negligence in the context of the criminal law. Day two discusses the regulation of health professionals and withholding & withdrawing life sustaining measures.
The ALI is therefore designed to provide a more in depth understanding of the three general areas the law can personally affect a clinician in practice; the civil law, criminal law and disciplinary law. Case scenarios relevant to the topics will also be discussed in small groups.
The Basic Law Intensive is generally a pre-requisite to attending the Advanced Law Intensive. If you have completed other studies in medical law, please contact us to ascertain whether you can attend the Advanced Law Intensive without having attended the Basic Law Intensive.
