H3 Seminar Series - Navigating the Grey Zone: Supported Decision-Making for Older Adults (Main Talk)

Navigating the Grey Zone: Supported Decision-Making for Older Adults in the Margins of Capacity 🧠⚖️ H3 webinar - Navigating the Grey Zone: Supported Decision-Making for Older Adults in the Margins of Capacity Decision-making capacity in older adults is rarely black or white. Many individuals living with cognitive impairment exist in a "grey zone"—where they can still express preferences and participate in care decisions, but require varying levels of support. How do we balance safety with autonomy? In this webinar, our speakers examine capacity as a continuum. We dive into supported decision-making as an essential approach to preserve dignity and self-determination, while addressing the ethical, practical, and legal challenges within Singapore’s healthcare context. 🎙️ Featured Speakers: • Dr. Esther Ho – Senior Consultant, Department of Geriatric Medicine & Deputy Chair, Clinical Ethics Committee, Tan Tock Seng Hospital • [Clinical Discussant] Associate Professor Michael Charles Dunn – Director of Education, Centre for Biomedical Ethics (CBmE), Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine If you are a healthcare professional, anyone passionate about aged care and medical ethics, this is a must-watch!
