Resuscitation, Medical Ethics and Advance Care Planning with Zoë Fritz
Description
Dr Zoë Fritz joins us for a discussion of the importance of advance care planning, patient-centred conversations surrounding resuscitation and future wishes and her work in developing the ReSPECT (Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment) process which seeks to improve approaches and outcomes in this setting.
We also take a deep dive into medical ethics, touching upon best interest decisions, when discussions surrounding future care may not be appropriate and the role of family members in these conversations.
Dr Fritz is a consultant in acute medicine at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge, UK,
and a Wellcome fellow in Society and Ethics.
