Health Law and Regulation Unit (HLRU)

Description

The Health Law and Regulation Unit (HLRU) supports research and knowledge exchange activities related to health law and regulation. HLRU brings together a diverse group of experts who pursue cutting-edge research into current legal, regulatory, and policy issues in healthcare.

The members of HLRU have a wealth of knowledge in various health law topics, including medical malpractice, patient capacity and consent, reproduction, professional regulation, children and medicine, research ethics, and mental health. They are committed to conducting world-leading legal and policy research that contributes to health law scholarship and enhances public debate in a particularly contentious field.

Established in 2013, HLRU aims to build on the School of Law and Social Justice's proud history of medico-legal research and add to the University of Liverpool's record of producing high-quality public health outputs. The unit is dedicated to building capacity by engaging with academic partners and external entities.
