‘Seen but not heard: children and epistemic injustice’, co-authored by Professor Carel and Dr Gita Györffy, a paediatrician at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, proposes a philosophical framework which uses the notion of epistemic injustice to understand how health professionals listen to child patients. The framework can also be used to understand how other professionals, such as social workers, listen to children.
