Self-determination in Health-care: A Property Approach to the Protection of Patients’ Rights. Routledge Publishing 2015.

This book makes the case for a novel alternative to the consent model for protecting the patients’ right to make decisions about their care.

Review by a law professor: ‘It is certainly one of the best I have reviewed in recent times. It is well-researched and referenced; the analysis is clear and coherent, and the chapters read well together. The hypothesis is lucidly defined and rigorously established; it is an original contribution to scholarship in the field’
