"“This is a well-written book, suitable for students and qualified healthcare professionals who wish to enhance their knowledge and understanding of patient safety. Complexities of law and ethics linked to patient safety are explored in a way that readers will easily understand, I strongly recommend it.” Ganapathy Ganesalingam, University of Greenwich “Safety is paramount in all aspects of a patient’s journey as they engage with services, in hospital or community settings. The book explores patient safety, risk management and applies relevant ethical, and legal principles. I strongly recommend it for students, professionals in all areas of healthcare practice and research.” Dr Stephen Joseph, University of Essex “Patient safety is the most fundamental aspect of healthcare and often it’s marginalised groups and individuals who experience poorer outcomes and are exposed to more risks in clinical practice. Therefore, I recommend this book to all students and healthcare professionals to reflect on the content in this book, so we can work towards minimising risk in all clinical environments.” Dr Andrew Clifton, University of Suffolk “With a focus on ethical and legal foundations of promoting a safety culture in health and social care, this text is invaluable for professionals, staff and students entrusted with protecting vulnerable people in service provision settings. Using legal, bioethical, and clinical case scenarios to illustrate discussions, and thinking points to encourage personal reflection, issues are raised and explored in an accessible and considered way throughout.""
