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

Thu 16 November 2023, 3.30 - 6.00 pm

What should we do when we experience uncertainty or disagreement about 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 series of events "Forum Clinical Ethics" this year, the focus is now on communication and possibilities for action from an interprofessional perspective. The lectures and your contributions to the discussion offer space for exchange and joint further thinking for our hospital.
