Healthcare Day-to-Day Issues
We advise clients on all aspects of healthcare law, including a broad range of issues that may arise in a healthcare facility context such as matters relating to patient confidentiality, capacity and consent to treatment, issues pertaining to the disclosure of medical records, inquests, emergencies and regulatory compliance; we provide comprehensive and prompt advice in relation to the management of hospital emergencies in a diverse range of issues such as the force feeding of patients, the termination of life support and the management of critical situations involving patient refusal of treatment where death is imminent; in addition to advising in these areas, we make, where necessary, emergency High Court applications for directions in relation to their continued management.
