Ethics in Health Care is a 5-day course run and accredited by the
University of Oxford.
It will take place on 14, 21, 28, October, 2, 4 November 2004
Health professionals need tools that can help them to consider all aspects
of controversial decisions, and to justify these decisions to individual
patients and the general public. This course will help a wide range of
health care professionals deal with the difficult decisions they have to
make on a day-to-day basis.
The aim of the course is to provide practical skills that can be
immediately applied to the process of ethical health care decision making.
Course participants will increase their ability to:
• analyse and assess arguments within the ethics of health-care
• argue effectively, taking counter-arguments into account
• apply main ethical concepts and theories to moral dilemmas in
health-care
• appraise main current frameworks for discussion of health-care
ethics
• articulate their own moral values and feelings
Lectures will be interspersed with group discussions, workshops and
participant-led seminars. Core material on the frameworks of ethics will be
provided, while workshops and participant-led seminars will be used to
apply the material to real life situations.
