Ethical Considerations in the Treatment of Children

Course description

Children are not little adults and it is often difficult to determine when actions are truly "in the best interest of the child".  When should we intervene and when are children capable of making their own decisions? 

How much information do children need? Is it always in the best interest of the child to have the parent present during treatments?

Aims of the Workshop

The purpose of this workshop is to equip Physiotherapists and other healthcare providers with the knowledge to adequately address the rights of children in healthcare.   This is an interactive and dynamic workshop.

Learning Outcomes

After completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

  • Reflect critically on the rights of children in healthcare.
  • Understand national and international legal frameworks for the rights of children in healthcare.
  • Advocate for the rights of these children.
