Medical criminal law

The medical profession has increasingly drawn judicial attention. This not only involves possible errors by medical professionals, affecting a patient’s life or health. The judicial authorities also regularly investigate how dangerous situations may arise ‘within the organisation’.

In these kinds of cases, our specialists advise both (the management of) hospitals and care institutions and individual medical professionals and other health professionals. Our advice covers a wide range of situations: from preventive advice on how to deal with doctor-patient confidentiality in relation to cooperating with possible requests by police or judicial authorities to supply confidential patient data, to advice on the best defence in actual criminal investigations.
