Aktuelle Entwicklungen im Medizinstrafrecht

Criminal law in relation to medical practice is subject to more public and specialist scrutiny than ever before, and the scope of duties of lawyers working in the field of medical law are as varied as they are different. The 9th conference on criminal law with regard to medical practice (9. Medizinstrafrechtstag) in Düsseldorf was therefore dedicated to satisfying the need of the victims of medical malpractice and legal advisory teams to gain a better understanding of this complex and wide-ranging branch of the law. These conference proceedings document the presentations held by academics and practitioners from this field, which address current developments in criminal law with regard to medical practice, internal investigations in medical institutions, medical criminal proceedings, the law on the licence to practise medicine, criminal liability for incorrect medical advice and the provision of patient care according to §§ 299a, b of the Strafgesetzbuch, Germany’s penal code. This book therefore provides jurists, doctors and all others interested in this subject with a sound and in-depth overview of the legal limits that govern the behaviour of those working in the healthcare sector.
