Handout: The Capacity to Consent to Treatment in Youth: A Retrospective Lens

Handout: A Guide for Health Care Practitioners in the Assessment of Young People’s Capacity to Consent to Treatment

Presentation Description: 
Young people who are facing the challenges of coping with cancer are faced with many decisions about their treatment options.  Age is not a factor in the determination of a young person’s capacity to consent to treatment.  Capacity to consent to treatment is presumed without consideration of age. The assessment of whether these young people understand the information necessary to make a treatment decision, appreciate the consequences of that decision and are able to communicate that decision, can be challenging for health care practitioners.  The workshop included discussion of some of the factors that need to be considered by the health care practitioner when asked to provide an assessment of the capacity of a youth to whom treatment for cancer is being proposed by the health care provider.

Workshop B – Defining Capacity: When a Patient Refuses Life-Saving Treatment

Posted on January 2, 2015 by admin


Presentation Description:
It is the duty of all healthcare providers to offer the best available treatment for the best possible outcome. So what is the path forward when a patient refuses this treatment? Structured around three hypothetical pediatric lymphoma cases, this session unraveled the many issues related to defining and determining capacity when a child or adolescent refuses life-saving treatment.

Chief, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario
Associate Professor, University of Ottawa
