What will I learn?

Our LLM in Health Law explores the dynamic and critical intersection of medicine and law. As the National Health Service faces increasing pressure on resource allocation and as debates intensify over an individual's capacity to consent or refuse medical treatment, the demand for legal professionals skilled in health law has never been greater. Dive deep into fundamental principles like consent to treatment and medical ethics, while also exploring specialised areas of health law such as the regulation of healthcare quality, mental health law, and employment and health law. This course offers a comprehensive overview of key legal areas affecting medical practice in the UK, enriched by perspectives from EU legislation and international health norms.
