2. • Fraser guidelines relate to a case in 1984 – Gillick
v West Norfolk – and provide a framework for
dealing with children under the age of 16.
• It revolves around whether a child is capable of
making a reasonable assessment of the
advantages and disadvantages of treatment and
thus their ability to consent to treatment.

3. • In his guidance Fraser stated that a doctor could
prescribe contraceptives "provided he is satisfied
in the following criteria:
• 1. That the girl (although under the age of 16
years of age) will understand his advice.
• 2. That he cannot persuade her to inform her
parents or to allow him to inform the parents that
she is seeking contraceptive advice
3Dr. Mostafa Darweeish
4. • 3. That she is very likely to continue having sexual
intercourse with or without contraceptive
treatment.
• 4. That unless she receives contraceptive advice
or treatment her physical or mental health, or
both, are likely to suffer.
4Dr. Mostafa Darweeish
5. • 5. That her best interests require him to give her
contraceptive advice, treatment, or both, without
the parental consent.“
• NB. The same guidelines relate to termination of
pregnancy.

Endogenous infections are those caused by microorganisms already part of the host flora ("normal flora" of the skin, nose, oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, etc.) while exogenous infections are those caused by microorganisms obtained from animate or inanimate sources within the hospital.
