The Legal Framework for Clinical Decision-Making
13 February 2025
Healthcare professionals are experts in assessing, diagnosing and treating healthcare conditions. Decision-making about treatment is multi-faceted – there are roles (and responsibilities) for the healthcare professionals and for the patient. How do healthcare professionals use their experience and expertise to decide clinically, what treatment to offer to the patient? From the offer, how is a decision taken as to which treatment will be provided?
In this session, Hannah Taylor was joined by Parishil Patel KC from 39 Essex Chambers to discuss the decision-making process further.

Diagnosing Death: Clinical and Legal Considerations
27 November 2025
Where a person has suffered a catastrophic illness or injury, it can reach a point where the clinical team consider that, sadly, there is nothing further that can be done and the person is deceased. This can, understandably, be difficult for family and loved ones to contemplate – particularly where, with life-support, the person’s heart continues to beat and they appear to be breathing.
Julia Jones discussed the clinical and legal aspects of diagnosing death with:
- Dr Dale Gardiner an Intensive Care Consultant at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust Chambers; and
- Victoria Butler-Cole KC of 39 Essex Chambers.
