Aktuelle Entwicklungen im Medizinstrafrecht

Both the public sphere and specialised academic circles are focusing more on medical criminal law than ever before, and the scope of duties of legal experts who work in this field is extremely diverse and wideranging. As a result, those affected by breaches of this law and those lawyers who advise them are in need of guidance. This need for guidance thus formed the basis of the 8th Conference on Criminal Law in Medicine, which took place in Düsseldorf. This book documents the speeches and lectures held by practitioners and academics at the conference, which address current developments in medical criminal law, the criminal risks involved in elective service agreements, suspected criminal misconduct in hospitals, care services from a legal perspective and the protection of patients’ data. Consequently, this book will provide jurists, medical experts and anyone else interested in this subject with an in-depth overview of the criminal law restrictions that govern the conduct of those who work in the healthcare sector.
