Description | Medical Ethics is an important area of the Trainee's learning, but many trainers feel under-confident in how to deliver it. In the first half of this course we examine the Duties of a Doctor; as GPs living in an atmosphere of increasing patient rights, we need to help our trainees understand the underlying principles in order to recognise ethical issues and make consistent moral judgements. In the second half we look at Distributive Justice in Health Care, as the harsh reality of scarce resources with an ageing population creates difficult moral decisions. We use real-life ethical dilemmas and examples throughout, with extensive suggestions of how you can teach your trainees. | ||
