This course is about health law, broadly defined, and the inequalities that can manifest themselves within it. It addresses some of the most topical ethical dilemmas facing society:
What is the state’s responsibility for the health of its citizens?
How should the law regulate new reproductive technologies?
Who should decide whether a seriously ill baby lives or dies?
Should we able to choose an assisted death?
Does the law do enough to protect health in the workplace?
Should doctors be allowed to use experimental treatment?
These are just a few examples of the questions we will be exploring on this course. Two core modules on health law will introduce you to the law’s involvement in regulating health and health care, while modules on inequalities in health, and human rights and health care are also compulsory to reflect the rights and equality focus of this degree. You can then choose optional modules to reflect your interests such as clinical negligence, mental health law, employment law, or bioethics.
