This group investigates the law’s role in shaping the provision of healthcare, mental healthcare and care in other contexts. Our research provides critical, empirical and ethical analysis of healthcare law, mental health law, mental capacity law, reproductive rights and wider bioethics, focusing on social justice, autonomy and rights for real-world impact.
Scholars explore how legal frameworks respond to vulnerability, autonomy, and the rights of those receiving or providing care, using doctrinal, ethical, and socio-legal methods.
Project spotlights
