LO1: Demonstrate understanding of legal institutions and processes in health care (500 words). 

  Case study: 

Rose provided homeopathic services as an unregistered alternative health consultant, specialising in chronic pain. Maria consulted Rose about her chronic back pain, for which she had been on a long course of opiate-based GP-prescribed medication. Maria felt the opiate-based medication was not helping with the pain. Rose advised Maria to stop taking the opiate-based medication “immediately” and gave her a homeopathic remedy to take instead.

 

Maria had a severe reaction to the homeopathic remedy, combined with side effects from the sudden withdrawal from the opiate-based medication. She was hospitalised, which she found stressful and embarrassing.

 

When she rang Rose to complain, Rose denied she told Maria to stop taking the opiate-based

medication “immediately”. Maria also asked for information about the potential side-effects of the homeopathic remedy and sudden withdrawal from the prescribed medication and Rose refused to provide it.

(CHDSCR) and explain why.

Using research, discuss whether the criminal law should be changed to include the type of conduct undertaken by the support worker in this case? Why or why not?

 

Do not critique the conduct of the provider in this case. Concentrate on the law.
