Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
A patient has been assessed to be at risk of choking and aspirating, but they (or their surrogate decision-maker) has expressed a strong wish to continue oral feeding? What should the clinical team do?
There is a medical risk – of aspirating, but what is the ethical, and legal risk if oral feeding proceeds?
Must clinical teams always follow the patient’s wishes? (What if they are administering the feeds?) Can individuals or teams or institutions refuse to support risk feeding?
In this clinical ethics symposium, specialists in gastroenterology, palliative care, clinical ethics and medical law discuss these and related questions.
