History
The Centre for Medical Law and Ethics, part of the School of Law, was opened in 1978 to undertake research, organise teaching and publish papers concerning issues in medicine involving law and ethics. It draws on the expertise of staff in numerous schools and departments including medicine and theology and offers undergraduate course units and an MA and Diploma programme. Teaching is also provided to students in related programmes in the School of Medicine including the MSc in Palliative Care, while the Centre publishes occasional papers and the periodical, Medical law review.
