They talk to Imogen Goold, Professor of Medical Law at St Anne's College Oxford university and Gresham visiting professor, as she is an expert in the area of how doctors and parents talk to children about illness, their rights, and responsibilities and how the courts become involved in these decisions.
Imogen tells us
· who makes the decisions about children’s medical treatment at different ages
· what happens if the parents disagree with doctors
· what happens if a young person disagrees with their parents about medical treatment plans
· And how judges make their decisions when asked to decide about this issue
Imogen says that when she was 10 years old she really liked reading books. and thought she wanted to be a doctor as she loved sciences. She also loved baking and entered the Great British Bake Off and met Mary Berry who liked her scones!
