Decisions for children with life-limiting conditions and towards the end of life are complex and difficult. In the Wessex region, we have begun to consider how we can work together addressing ethically complex issues for children. This day aims to explore some of the most challenging discussions that need to be had in paediatrics, how the regional Clinical Ethics Committee might help clinicians across Wessex and provide a way of exploring ethical issues in practice.
