The book with the title “Criminal Liability in the Practice of Medicine and Health Care: criteria for defining criminal liability in cases of joint intervention by health care practitioners” is the result of the research conducted by Virgilio Rodríguez Vázquez, who has a degree in law from the University of Vigo. It presents an analysis of the work of health care practitioners in cases that may be legally or criminally significant because the life or health of a patient is affected as a result of reckless conduct.
The main objective is to establish general criteria for adequately defining the criminal liability of health care practitioners working alone or as a team.
