GPs: have your say on child consent to medical treatment

  17 November 2025  Professor Claire Fenton-Glynn, Dr Fiona Hum (Monash University)    |   Third party content – view disclaimer

We are seeking general practitioners to participate in a study about how doctors evaluate whether a child is able to give informed consent to medical treatment.

Participants will take part in an individual interview via Zoom (45-60 minutes).

Information gained in the study will help researchers understand how children’s capacity is evaluated, supported, and recorded in a medical setting.

For more information go to this page.

Contact us at childhealth@monash.edu if you’re interested in participating.
