This just popped up on my Facebook; it's an online lecture regarding children and medical consent. Thought it may be of interest as it specifically mentions older children, and where there may be a conflict between medical opinion and child's opinion.

Gillick

Does it relate to Gillick competence where children under 16 can be deemed to understand the medical treatment and make decisions for themselves?

I'm hoping it's mentioned.

You can't really do a talk on children and consent without gillick competence! Tbh I hope it goes a lot deeper than basic understanding of Gillick competence. Consent and teenagers can be really complex

Missed it, but I am told they tend to appear on youtube in time. In the meantime, however, www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/children-medicine there are links on the page to the slideset and a transcript of the presentation.

If it's of interest, the BMA's guide on consent and young people is at www.bma.org.uk/advice-and-support/ethics/children-and-young-people/children-and-young-people-ethics-toolkit and is pretty comprehensive.

The GMC also has guidance www.gmc-uk.org/ethical-guidance/ethical-guidance-for-doctors/0-18-years
