Since publication of the original edition in 1996, this book has established itself as an essential text for occupational therapists. It offers an understanding of the law relating to their practice, but is written to be accessible for those who have no prior legal knowledge. The text provides valuable information for occupational therapists employed in health and social services, as well as the law relevant to private practitioners. The book includes chapters on all the main client groups and presents the relevant specialist law. Students and teachers of occupational therapy will find the chapters on professional registration, education, training and research of particular interest. The third edition has been substantially revised to cover significant changes in legislation since the previous version. There is also a brand new chapter on the subject of death and dying. Legal Aspects of Occupational Therapy remains a key resource for the occupational therapy student, practitioner and service manager.Content: Chapter 1 Occupational Therapy (pages 1–12): Chapter 2 The Legal System (pages 13–23): Chapter 3 Registration and the Health Professions Council (pages 24–37): Chapter 4 Professional Conduct Proceedings (pages 38–54): Chapter 5 Education and Training (pages 55–65): Chapter 6 Rights of Clients (pages 66–82): Chapter 7 Consent and Information Giving (pages 83–97): Chapter 8 The Duty of Confidentiality and Data Protection (pages 98–122): Chapter 9 Access to Records and Information (pages 123–137): Chapter 10 Negligence (pages 138–166): Chapter 11 Health and Safety (pages 167–204): Chapter 12 Record Keeping (pages 205–218): Chapter 13 Statements, Reports and Giving Evidence in Court (pages 219–235): Chapter 14 Handling Complaints (pages 236–248): Chapter 15 Equipment and Medicinal Products (pages 249–278): Chapter 16 Transport Issues (pages 279–289): Chapter 17 Statutory Organisation of Health and Social Services (pages 290–313): Chapter 18 Community Care and the Rights of the Disabled (pages 314–347): Chapter 19 Employment Law (pages 348–378): Chapter 20 Physical Disabilities (pages 379–397): Chapter 21 Mental Disorder (pages 398–430): Chapter 22 Learning Disabilities (pages 431–453): Chapter 23 Care of Babies, Children and Young Persons (pages 454–489): Chapter 24 Older People (pages 490–519): Chapter 25 Death and the Dying (pages 520–549): Chapter 26 Teaching and Research (pages 550–575): Chapter 27 Complementary Medicine (pages 576–584): Chapter 28 Independent Practice (pages 585–597): Chapter 29 The Future (pages 598–603):
