Essential Ethics

Deciding with Children 5: When the Stakes are High (Oncology)


Listen Later

This session considers what deciding with children looks like when a child has cancer. In this one we try to operationalise deciding with children. We explore ways to engage younger children in their medical decision-making and consider what types of decisions children with cancer can be encouraged to make for themselves. How serious would a decision need to be for the treating team to go against the child’s known wishes? How would you deliver this decision to your patient? We consider if sub-optimal medical treatments are ever acceptable when they're preferred by the child. Host: Prof John Massie. Guests: Dr Molly Williams, Paediatrician, Oncology & Palliative Care, RCH and Jayne Harrison, Clinical Nurse Specialist, RCH Oncology.
