9. "Do I need an operation?"
<p>Hello everyone and welcome back to Season 2! We’re launching a three-part mini-series starting with an episode on the consent process — and how to respond when Grace asks, “Do I need an operation?” We explore the legal and ethical aspects of consent, discuss non-operative management options, and look at how approaches differ across healthcare systems. We finish by unpacking the four ethical principles and how they're relevant to Grace. Hope you enjoy listening! </p><p>Links:</p><p>Multilingual patient information leaflet resource: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tEr5rQca1RJJ_jwa0FWwaYR1RYtIJlwX/view" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tEr5rQca1RJJ_jwa0FWwaYR1RYtIJlwX/view</a></p><p>Prof. Johansen's youtube channel, Hip fracture the : <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH4P3rNfQEEswi7nEQQLTyyz7b2XVB4Ez" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH4P3rNfQEEswi7nEQQLTyyz7b2XVB4Ez</a></p>
