Healthcare professionals are experts in assessing, diagnosis and treating healthcare conditions. Decision-making about treatment is multi-faceted – there are roles (and responsibilities) for the healthcare professionals and for the patient. How do healthcare professionals use their experience and expertise to decide clinically, what treatment to offer to the patient? From the offer, how is a decision taken as to which treatment will be provided?
Join us for this session with Parishil Patel KC from 39 Essex Chambers who will consider:
- The two-stage process in decision-making about treatment:
- The treatment offer(s)
- Which treatment offer(s) to provide
- When to obtain a second opinion?
- What if the clinical decision as to what treatment is on offer is disputed?
- Article 2 obligations when making a clinical decision not to (continue to) offer a life-sustaining treatment.
