The AAAFML - Debate to reflect on the topic “INFORMED CONSENT” - 16 March
The Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon Alumni Association (AAAFML) will have its next debate to reflect on the topic “INFORMED CONSENT” on 16 March 2011, at Aula Magna of FMUL (S.M.H. Main Building, level 3), at 2 pm.
Our Association decided to organize this debate and invite a broad number of representatives from the medical and legal fields, and from the community at large, to reflect on the following themes:
• How to approach topics such as the performance of medical procedures of a diagnosis, research, or curative nature on sick citizens
Aware of the concerns shared by some health professionals, particularly doctors, and the public in general, about the occasionally inappropriate way, in ethical and legal terms, patients are informed about the possible negative implications of a medical action – whether of a diagnosis, curative or research nature – this debate is aimed at the medical profession, including practicing doctors and future ones. For this reason, medical students in the last years of their training are invited to attend.
• Viewpoints of those who, after receiving information about the potential harm of medical procedures to be performed upon them, face the dilemma of whether to accept or refuse them;
The debate will be of interest to all those working in the health sector and to the community at large. For which reason, a representative of the community with no connection with health or the medical profession will be seating at the table.
• Medical and legal implications of appropriate/inappropriate information giving allowing a conscious, or not, decision by those receiving the medical procedures.
