Medical Treatment Disputes and the Law
A best interests approach to life or death for patients with a disorder of consciousness
Speaker: Mr Yogi Amin Partner: Irwin Mitchell LLP
Followed by discussion and an opportunity to network and socialise.
SYMLS are pleased to welcome Mr Yogi Amin, who is National Head of Public Law and Human Rights at Irwin Mitchell LLP.
This seminar will explore the legal and ethical boundaries which arise when patients sustain catastrophic brain injury, and as a result do not regain consciousness.
The National Clinical Guidelines which address this highly emotive subject have evolved over the past decade, as the Courts have refined the law surrounding how best interests decisions should be made.
Yogi Amin has been heavily involved with the development of the current guidelines, and will present disputes which often arise in relation to life or death, in this fascinating insight into a very complex area of medical law and ethics.
