Journal Article
Pritchard-Jones. (2014). Ageism and Autonomy in Health Care: Explorations through a relational lens. Health Care Analysis, 72-89. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10728-014-0288-1

Ageism within the context of care has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Similarly, autonomy has developed into a prominent concept within health care law and ethics. This paper explores the way that ageism, understood as a set of negati... Read More about Ageism and Autonomy in Health Care: Explorations through a relational lens.
