LLM in Medical Law 2008-2009

"My background is in criminal, mental health and human rights law. As a barrister I represent people detained in psychiatric institutions at Mental Health Tribunals. Issues of consent and autonomy are fundamental.

The LLM in Medical Law provides an opportunity to consider medical ethics in a wider context. Studying at Queen Mary, University of London is an inspiration. Seminars are well-structured, interactive and always fascinating. Written materials are excellent. All the lecturers are first rate.

Professional and cultural diversity contribute to the freshness of discussions with other students.

Currently my time is split between representing clients at hearings and reading for my degree. Juggling various deadlines is usually not a problem as the timetable is fixed early. t has been good to use knowledge gained on the LLM in my paid work.

After completing the LLM in Medical Law my intention is to develop a practice in medical and regulatory law. Everything I’m learning will be of use in my future career: facts, ideas and research skills. QMUL is an exciting place to study with great facilities and people."
