The Welsh Transplant Incident
Source:Volume 25, Issue 3, pp 309 - 321Hughes and Stuart ’s shocking and unexpected deaths from the transplant treatments they received at Cardiff’s University Hospital of Wales could, in Lord Denning’s terminology, be described as ‘a most extraordinary chapter of accidents’.

Genetic Risks and Doctors ’ Disclosure Obligations — Revisiting the Duty of Confidentiality
This article examines whether disclosure obligations on doctors should be expanded to encompass an obligation to disclose genetic risk to family members, and whether the exceptions to the duty of confidentiality should recognise genetic risk as potential harm. With recognition of the competing rights, the article considers the implications of recent case law in the United Kingdom, indicating a willingness to extend the duty of disclosure. This article argues that there is a case to be made for expanding disclosure obligations on doctors in certain circumstances. (Source: European Journal of Health Law)

Regulatory Challenges of Data Mining Practices: The Case of the Never-ending Lifecycles of ‘Health Data’ (Advance Article)

The case study aims thus to test the endurance of the ‘ special category’ of health data in the face of data mining technologies and the never-ending lif...
