Consent, capacity and substitute decision-making remain fundamental issues for anyone working in health care.

As a health-care professional or advisor, you face complex questions on these challenging concepts.  Issues of informed consent, powers of attorney, capacity assessments, when to call the OPGT and preparing for a hearing before the CCB are matters you face on a routine basis, but the questions surrounding them seem far from “routine.”

Designed with direct feedback from those working on the front lines in health care, this program will provide you with the critical knowledge and practical strategies you need to confidently manage the risks and meet your obligations.

Registration includes 120-day unlimited, online access to the recorded program.
