Doctors are required to take positive action when dealing with patients and, accordingly, can be held liable for omissions. However, due to the strict adherence to physical injury as the dominant form of damage in negligence law, a doctor's duty of care is operating, in effect, as a duty not to negligently cause physical injury. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book identifies this to be the main barrier to protecting interests other than bodily integrity in medical negligence law. By so doing, it sets out a new duty of care framework: namely that a doctor would owe a 'positive duty to take care' of the patient's interests. This would ensure that the reasons for requiring doctors to take positive action would be carried through to the damage enquiry. Damage would either not be necessary, or would be expanded to include interests other than bodily integrity. It offers an important and ambitious new way of thinking about the doctor-patient relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSarah Fulham-McQuillan\u003c\/b\u003e is McCann FitzGerald Assistant Professor in Law and Business at the Sutherland School of Law, University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 April 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHart Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781509931507\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936309543052,"sku":"9781509931507","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_a16c560a-c164-4fe2-8ea1-e6fd1959569d.jpg?v=1786017396","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781509931507","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
