Medical Treatment: Decisions and the Law Podcast

Serjeants' Inn Chambers
Medical Treatment: Decisions and the Law Podcast

This podcast complements the textbook, Medical Treatment: Decisions and the Law, which is edited by Christopher Johnston QC and Sophia Roper QC, with chapters authored by a team of 27 barristers at Serjeants' Inn Chambers and published by Bloomsbury Professional in 2022. It places medical decision-making in its legal context and provides practical guidance on the most ethically challenging cases that face the courts. It explains how the Mental Capacity Act works in practice and how the courts and lawyers wrestle with and resolve problems relating to the very essence of life: what is life? what is an acceptable quality of life? what treatment is so burdensome that it should not be attempted? These questions are posed, not in the abstract but, in real – often desperate, often urgent – situations. This series, hosted by Christopher and Sophia, will feature different authors in each episode, looking further and discussing the various topics covered by the book.
