Dignity of Risk & Decision-Making in Aged Care
Taking risks is a natural part of life, and older people have the right to make their own decisions, even those that involve a degree of risk. In this Ausmed Training Module, we’ll explore the concept of dignity of risk and how it is essential in providing person-centred aged care.
You’ll learn how to support reasonable risk-taking that respects autonomy while promoting older people’s safety and wellbeing. We’ll also unpack the principles of informed decision-making, including how to assess capacity and the importance of informed consent.
