MRI Forum Clinical Ethics: No more good and will, or is it? Communication and options for action in case of disagreement or uncertainty

What should we do when we experience uncertainty or disagreement in the presumed will of patients for treatment decisions?

In the first part of the forum, we addressed the legal and ethical perspective. In the second part of the "Clinical Ethics Forum" series of events this year, the focus is now on communication and possible actions from an interprofessional perspective. The lectures and your contributions to the discussion offer space for exchange and joint further thinking for our hospital.
