In this timely book, leading health law expert Edward S. Dove provides a unique and detailed introduction to health privacy law across numerous legal systems. He offers a rigorous exploration of, and commentary on, the key concepts, rules, principles, and functions of the primary legal regimes governing information in the health context, namely confidentiality, privacy, and data protection laws.


Dove examines how the digitization of health, the advent of new medical innovations, artificial intelligence, and the drive toward data-driven research generate complex questions about private information. Taking UK law as its foundation, such as the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, the book also addresses other jurisdictions, including Irish law and key European instruments such as the European Health Data Space Regulation. This critical work integrates analysis of legal frameworks with critical commentary, identifying areas of health privacy law that would benefit from further development or reform.


A vital resource for students and academics of health law, digital law and medicine, Health Privacy Law will also be of interest to lawyers who require more in-depth knowledge about health privacy law in action, as well as policymakers and stakeholders in health services considering areas for potential future reform.

Arvustused

A richly informative and engaging discussion of the key features and challenges of health privacy law. Edward S. Dove's expertise and commitment shine throughout this much-needed book. -- Megan Richardson, The University of Melbourne, Australia Health data are central to the operation of modern healthcare and health research, yet arguably the law still poses more questions than it provides answers. Dove brings a valuable clarity of thinking and depth of scholarship to this complex area. His work contributes excellent technical and academic insight. -- David Townend, City St Georges, University of London, UK Some view the law of health privacy as anachronistic; others view it as impossibly complex in light of technology. The time is right for a new perspective, including international policies. In his new book, Edward S. Dove masterfully combines detailed research and cogent analysis to produce a work of great importance. -- Mark A. Rothstein, University of California, Irvine, USA
