Recent changes in UK medical law: implications for radiologists.

Abstract:

:Since Lord Woolf declared in 2001 that the courts have been excessively deferential to the medical profession, there has been an incremental series of changes to the law concerning medical negligence. The most substantial changes concern consent, but significant change has also appeared regarding the concept of causation. This article reviews these changes, and points out areas of direct relevance to diagnostic and interventional radiology.
