This Ethical Issues in Long Term Conditions Level 7 module contributes to the development of knowledge and understanding of the ethical principles that should underpin clinical decision-making. There will be emphasis on ethical frameworks that can be applied to a range of common ethical dilemmas that healthcare professionals face in their day to day activities.
Students will have the opportunity to engage in debate and discussion of some selected clinical scenarios such as the denial of long term oxygen therapy to those who continue to smoke, truth telling and killing and letting die. This module enables the student to study ethical issues within the context of healthcare, and specifically in people with long term conditions.
Through a series of formal presentations, lectures and self-directed study, students will be able to articulate the rationale for a particular course of action. Clinical scenarios and personal reflection from students will form the basis for debate and discussion.
