Developing clinical guidelines: present and future legal aspects
Abstract
This article provides a legal update by discussing Department of Health advice on the legal aspects of clinical guidelines and a recent House of Lords' clinical negligence case. These have important implications for developers of clinical guidelines particularly when discussed in the context of recent government initiatives in legal aid and civil justice reform which will result in the development of increasingly specialist clinical negligence lawyers.
