Commissioned in Dec 2022 after some high-profile cases, this report looks at available literature, did a call for evidence, interviews with parents and surveys with follow-up workshops with healthcare professionals to examine the ethical challenges in treating critically ill children, how disagreements develop, the impact of disagreements (on the child, families and healthcare professionals) and ways of resolving disagreements. 

Evidence is presented thematically, with case studies highlighting good practice and recommendations for further research, guidance development, education and clinical practice adaptations.

Read-time for the full report is quite long (allow at least 20-30 minutes), but could be a useful springboard for discussion or help build evidence for organisational change. 

Report freely available on their website here or see pdf below.
