title: Common law and a duty of care: the application of principles.
abstract: In this series, the author has bought two themes to the reader: first, an awareness of the elements of the common law that operate to inform us of our duties as health providers, and second, current information that is applicable in each of the areas of law that has been discussed. This conclusion is designed to bring together strands of debate that the series has brought to the attention of the reader.
