Drawing from considerable expertise and experience, the authors write in a clear and engaging style... Essentially, the handbook creates a framework of resources for those committees assessing their own work. The authors serve their audience well and this book is a valuable addition to the library of every healthcare ethics committee. Doody's Review Service Straightforward writing, and generous use of case studies make it a book that any non-specialist with interest in the field would find compelling.
