Proceedings of the fifth Northern Region Paediatric Colloquium.
The disciplines of medicine, law and ethics frequently impinge upon each other in clinical practice but are seldom given the opportunity to come together in dialogue. It was with this aim that senior professionals from law and medicine met at the fifth Northern Region Paediatric Colloquium. An added dimension to the ethical viewpoint was brought to the meeting by the attendance of local religious leaders for the first time. We report the proceedings of the Colloquium, which adopted the usual format of clinical case presentation followed by discussion.
