Caring for children with severe neurological impairments presents multiple challenges. As medical technology advances, the choices for clinicians and families grow in complexity. From life-prolonging interventions to deeply personal decisions, tensions and disagreements often arise, with emotions running high. In this episode, we explore the ethical considerations across this high-stakes area of paediatric care and offer a practical toolkit to help clinicians navigate difficult decisions with confidence, compassion and clarity.
