Nursing Clinical Practice Law

Clinical Law for Nurses:-

Care of the Dying- End of Life Care

[note color=”#CDB5CD”]In Aintree University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust v David James (by his litigation friend the Official Solicitor); May James; Julie James [2013] EWCA Civ 65 – the Court of Appeal determined that it was in a patient’s best interests for treatment to be withheld where such treatment would be extremely burdensome for the patient (Mr James) to endure, the treatment would also be futile, and he would never recover to leave from hospital, owing to organ failure and his general clinical condition.
