HEALTH LAW
The term “Health Law” is being used to incorporate a vast number of disparate topics generally re-
lated to the various health professions: medicine, nursing, and dentistry, etc. Most often the nexus
between these professions and law comes about by way of malpractice/negligence litigation, but
this is not exclusively the case. For the most part, this is an area that is provincial in scope in that
the provinces grant the various professional groups, by way of delegated powers, the authority
to establish the criteria for membership in their professions and the rights of discipline and dis-
missal. They also establish professional standards and are normally the f‌irst to judge professional
competence of their members. Related topics: ADMINISTRATIVE LAW, BIOETHICS, NEGLI-
GENCE, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY, PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY, TORTS.
SANTÉ – MÉDECINE
Droit de la santé et droit médical, les deux expressions ont cours même si elles ne couvrent
pas toujours la même réalité. Certains aspects du droit de la santé qui touchent aux régimes
sociaux (par ex. assurance-hospitalisation) relèvent en réalité de la sécurité sociale. Les règles
de la RESPONSABILITÉ CIVILE sont généralement appliquées. Voir aussi : RESPONSABILITÉ
PROFESSIONNELLE ; BIOÉTHIQUE ; DROITS DE LA PERSONNE ET CHARTE CANADIENNE
