Ethics and the Law for Anaesthetists
Join us online for a day of lectures and debates that will address some of the key principles of medical ethics and law.
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.
