Ian Denham published in the Journal of Personal Injury Law

Clinical negligence and international injuries specialist, Ian Denham, co-authored an article, “Medical Tourism and Package Travel Regulations” with Polina Sokolovska (formerly of Stewarts), which was recently published in the Journal of Personal Injury Law.

The article considers whether medical procedures and treatments could fall within the scope of the Package Travel Regulations and, if so, what guidance there may be establish by what standards such treatment should be assessed and whether liability might be established against a tour operator.

Medical tourism is an expanding global industry with a growing number of UK residents traveling to undergo medical and cosmetic procedures abroad. There have been a number of high profile deaths and injuries arising from poor medical treatment sustained abroad.

Ian is uniquely placed as both a specialist in clinical negligence, catastrophic injury and cross-border claims to advise on this complex and evolving area of law.

The article is available for order in hard copy on the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) website or electronically on Westlaw.
