Getting your heart dirty
Show notes
Caring for children with severe neurological impairments presents multiple challenges. As medical technology advances, the choices for clinicians and families grow in complexity. From life-prolonging interventions to deeply personal decisions, tensions and disagreements often arise, with emotions running high. In this episode, we explore the ethical considerations across this high-stakes area of paediatric care and offer a practical toolkit to help clinicians navigate difficult decisions with confidence, compassion and clarity.
