Medicolegal and ethical dilemmas in clinical practice are increasingly common, and many doctors feel ill-equipped to manage them. This event will provide insight into current issues affecting anaesthetists’ and intensivists’ practice.

 

Clinical Content Leads:

  • Dr Rehana Iqbal, Consultant Anaesthetist, Mediclinic City Hospital, Dubai;

Associate Professor, Mohammed Bin Rashid University, Dubai

  • Dr Elizabeth Combeer, Consultant Anaesthetist, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, Surrey

 

Previous year's feedback:

  • A very thought-provoking day. A good mix of current topical issues and some of the theory underlying medical ethics.
  • A very good overview of important ethical and legal principles, with just enough detail for the practising anaesthetist.
  • Exceptional event thought provoking & will change my practice.
  • It was a good course to guide an anaesthetist with practical scenarios from real cases. 

Just a little longer until we release the programme
