Join us for a compelling and unique full day event exploring critical topics at the intersection of medical, legal, and safety decision-making. We'll delve into the complexities of organ donation consent, the challenges accident cases pose to coroners, the role of GPS in road accidents, the factors behind the Croydon tram derailment, and the impact of cognitive bias on clinical decision-making in anaesthesia. This is a joint event with the British Academy of Forensic Sciences and Royal Society of Medicine
Participants will learn:
- To understand decision-making in organ donation cases, factors influencing family consent, and the role of the SNOD
- Coroner decision-making in accident cases, gathering of evidence, and whether full consent can be achieved
- GPS as a causative element of accident cases, its cognitive effect, and whether more research is needed
- Causes of a tram derailment and the human factor elements in driving
- Cognitive bias in a clinical incident and how to improve challenging decision-making
