    Actualités

    The Revue suisse de droit de la santé / Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Gesundheitsrecht (Swiss Health Law Review) is published by Weblaw (Bern) www.weblaw.ch

    Each year, two electronic issues appear in Weblaw’s jusletter, a free-to-access weekly email bulletin containing essential information on Swiss law.

    2016 25 January 2016

    2015 26 January 2015 ;  24 August 2015

    2014 27 January 2014 ;  18 August 2014

    2013 28 January 2013 ; 19 August 2013

    The entire content of the Swiss Health Law Review is available in electronic format to Weblaw subscribers (free to those in the Swiss university sector). The two issues also include the Review’s regular contributions (editorials, book reviews, commentaries on jurisprudence, feature articles and bibliographies), and appear annually in the Review’s paper version.

    To follow the latest Health Law developments more closely, commentaries on jurisprudence also appear in Jusletter as and when the Courts publish significant new rulings. To this end, the Institute of Health Law counts on the support of a cluster of commentators, who provide knowledge on a range of specialisations.

    Equally, succinct commentaries on jurisprudence appear in a database of the Federal Courts’ rulings at www.push-service.ch. Jusletter also publishes jurisprudence commentaries with more detail — including grounds for rulings — as articles.

    The 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 issues of the Swiss Health Law Review can be ordered at the Weblaw site, or by emailing livre@weblaw.ch.

    A brief history of the Review

    In 1996, the Institute published the first issue of the San News review — whose complete collection is now available online — which listed the most recent publications of around one hundred legal and medical journals, as well as the latest in jurisprudence and cantonal, federal and international legislation. In its tenth year, the Institute decided to expand its activities, and began to publish the Swiss Health Law Review; like the San News, this was to be released three times per year, but with its content radically revised. While the listing of publications remained important, the new format added feature articles, commentaries on jurisprudence and a column on the latest news.

    Until the end of 2006, the Swiss Health Law Review was published three times per year by Médecine & Hygiène. Ten issues were released: 1-7, then 8 (1/2006), 9 (2/2006) and 10 (3/2006). Issue 11 was published by Weblaw in the first trimester of 2008.

    With the kind agreement of Médecine & Hygiène, we are happy to announce that previous issues are now freely available at the RERO DOC digital library.

    Put together in September 2005 by the cantons de Bern, Fribourg, Jura, Neuchâtel, Valais and Vaud, the information brochure entitled "l'essentiel sur les droits des patients" (The basics on patient rights) has just come out. It offers a summary of patient rights, clarifies the various relevant laws, answers the most frequently asked questions, and lists the addresses of useful organisations. This intercantonal project is a first in the field of public health information.
