Bolam Test

The Bolam Test is a legal standard in medical negligence law that belongs to the genus of professional duty tests, differentiating itself by establishing that a practitioner’s conduct is not negligent if it conforms to a practice accepted as proper by a responsible body of medical opinion, even if other practices might also be acceptable.
