3U PARTNERSHIP Healthcare Ethics & Law Masterclass Series: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 - Medical, Legal and Ethical Implications
The long-awaited Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 was passed in December 2015. The 2015 Act replaces the ward of court system grounded on the ‘best interests principle’ with a comprehensive statutory framework based on the will and preferences model to assist people in exercising their decision-making capacity. This one-day intensive masterclass looks at the medical, legal and ethical implications of the new legislation in theory and in practice from the perspective of lawyers and medical professionals.
Speakers will include Ms Justice Marie Baker, Dr Charles O'Mahony, Professor Mary Donnelly, Ms Patricia Richard Clarke, Dr Adam McAuley, Dr Joan McCarthy, and Professor Brendan Kelly.
