LLM Medical Law and Ethics
Hi all. I am interested in stufying for an LLM in Ethics in the UK with a view to moving away from commercial law (which I currently practise) and into working for either a health trust or another medical organisation. Has anyone heard of a good distance learning course which is recognised and can steer me in the right direction? I have had a quick look at Manchester and Leicester universities but have no idea if the courses are any good or not. Thanks for your help in advance

LLM Medical Law and Ethics
The University of Edinburgh's LL.M (distance learning) covers Law and Medical Ethics. We also run short-courses (ecpd Law and Medical Ethics) for medical practitioners, which start again in October. These are designed with medical practitioners in mind, rather than lawyers, but even so you would be given an excellent view on the issues of concern in medical practice and could be of real added value to all eCPD students to be part of such an interdisciplinary group.Tue Jul 04, 2006 12:31 PM Late entry to the LL.M is possible up to teh end of August, early September and eCPD will be open soon for offline and online registration! More information about distance learning opportunities at The University of Edinburgh is available here: www.law.ed.ac.uk/distancelearning/ I know too that Glasgow have an LL.M which I believe is exceptionally popular, and runs one once ever two years. You can check that out here: www.llm-guide.com/university/135/glasgow-graduate-… [Edited 04 Jul 2006 by C.Miller] |

LLM Medical Law and Ethics
Hi sarahd,Tue Jul 18, 2006 08:25 AM I know that Manchester's MA in Medical Ethics & Law is very good. My mother who is a nurse is currently a distance-learning student. She likes the fact that it has a mix of both lawyers and medical professionals enrolled. Manchester is very strong in this area - one of her professors is Margaret Brazier = who has written a great deal in this field. In terms of non=distance learning - the course at King's College, London is the best by a long way because they have the Centre of Medical Law and Ethics based at the school. |
