FRASER GUIDANCE Sample Clauses

The Fraser Guidance clause outlines the legal principles established in the UK regarding the ability of minors to consent to medical treatment without parental involvement. It sets out criteria for determining whether a child under 16 has sufficient maturity and understanding to make decisions about their own healthcare, such as contraception or other medical procedures. By providing a framework for assessing a minor's competence, this clause helps healthcare professionals balance the child's autonomy with the need for safeguarding, ensuring that young people can access necessary medical care when appropriate.
FRASER GUIDANCE. 8.1 The pharmacist should make and record a judgement about the competence according to Fraser Guidance of every client who is believed to be under 16. 8.2 Whether the young person understands the potential risks and benefits of the treatment and advice given. 8.3 That the value of parental support is discussed, with the health professional encouraging the young person to inform parents/carers of the consultation and explore the reasons if the patient if unwilling to do so. They must assure the young person that their confidentiality will be respected whether they inform their parents/carers or not unless there is any suspicion of abuse. 8.4 Whether the young person is likely to have or continue to have sexual intercourse without contraception. 8.5 Whether the young person’s physical or mental health is likely to suffer if they do not receive contraceptive advice or treatment. 8.6 Whether it is in young person’s best interest to provide contraceptive advice and treatment without parental consent. 8.7 Taking the above into consideration the pharmacist should decide if the young person is competent to receive advice and treatment. The consultation will be governed by the same terms of confidentiality whether or not the health professional considers the young person competent. 8.8 When a young person is judged not to be competent she should be referred to their GP or Family Planning doctor. 8.9 When seeing clients under the age of 16, the pharmacist(s) is required to have regard to child protection issues. Pharmacist should act in accordance with Cambridgeshire County Council Child Protection Guidelines. Any pharmacist who has concerns about a young person should seek advice from the most appropriate professional which may be a senior colleague, the Named Nurse or Doctor for Child Protection or Social Services. In the first instance the clients name and address should not be used, if asking for advice. Advice may be obtained by contacting the child protection contacts in the PGD.
