Ethics in a changing landscape 5-7th September 2018
The healthcare landscape is changing. Clinical decisions, communication with families and relationships between health professionals, parents and children are increasingly influenced and directed by social media; crowdfunding for unproven or expensive treatments, and the availability
of new technologies and devices for monitoring health. This conference will explore the ethical implication of this changing landscape for paediatric health care.
