This book has been based upon a highly successful series of articles on the legal aspects of death that have been published by the British Journal of Nursing. This book provides nurses and other healthcare professionals, managers and patient groups with information about the law which applies to death. The book is written in a non-legalistic way, with the aim of assisting the reader through the complex area of law, and provides a helpful reference work for critical occasions in their working lives. It is an extremely practical work.
