Health and Law, York

Description

This group at York Law School investigates the law’s role in shaping the provision of healthcare, mental healthcare and care in other contexts. Its research provides critical, empirical and ethical analysis of healthcare law, mental health law, mental capacity law, reproductive rights and wider bioethics, focusing on social justice, autonomy and rights. Its scholars explore how legal frameworks respond to vulnerability, autonomy and the rights of those receiving or providing care, using doctrinal, ethical and socio-legal methods.
