Youth Friendly Doctor Presents: Young People, Ethics and the Law, Tuesday 13th February
When working with young people in a medical setting, it is critical to have a comprehensive understanding of your ethical and legal responsibilities.
This workshop is designed to provide medical professionals with best practice and practical information on legal and ethical considerations of their young patients, assessment of a young person’s capacity and competence to consent to medical treatment, the right to confidentiality and the limited circumstances in which it may be broken.
Participants will learn effective engagement strategies, methods on managing difficulties that may arise in consultation and gain insight into how adolescents use health services.
