Overview
What you will study
The Medical Negligence course offered by Bond University will examine the law of negligence, focussing on its relevance to the practice of medicine and the provision of healthcare generally and will investigate the fundamentals of negligence law.
In addition to the idiosyncrasies of the doctor’s duty of care to patients, the professional standard of care in relation to providing treatment and care and obtaining consent, and the challenges of establishing medical causation, you will be guided to consider the role of medical indemnity insurance in driving the Civil Liability reforms of the early 2000s, and the role of class actions related to pharmaceutical and medical device failure.
