Medical criminal law
Well-intentioned care can have disastrous consequences. If things go badly wrong, criminal law may be involved in addition to possible disciplinary proceedings. It is also increasingly common for healthcare providers or healthcare institutions to report crimes committed by patients or their families. Conversely, it also happens with some frequency that the Public Prosecutor's Office or other litigants request information from doctors or hospitals. How to act then?
Do not hesitate, and engage a specialized criminal lawyer at an early stage. The earlier we are involved, the more we can do for you.

With some regularity Van Meekren Advocatuur advises on medical criminal matters. How far, for example, does the duty of confidentiality of the health care provider extend? If you have been victimized by an aggressive patient, can you report this? And what information do you share in the report? Similar questions may arise if a physician or health care provider is called to testify in court. And what regime applies to institution that offer a mix of housing and care or support?
The answers to the above questions are not always easy to provide. However, the answers can be of great importance to you or your healthcare facility. Van Meekren Advocatuur is also the right place for advice on such issues.
