WEH/Ethox Seminar: Translational ethics: working with clinicians to improve ethical decision-making
This seminar will be held by Bluejeans videoconferencing, please email admin@ethox.ox.ac.uk for the meeting link.
ABSTRACT
In this presentation, I will describe a project, in which we investigated how we could improve ethical decision-making around referral and admission to intensive care, a decision-making process that has received considerable attention during the current COVID-19 pandemic. I will describe how we investigated current decision-making processes (in 2015/16), then developed a decision support framework for clinicians and tested its feasibility in three NHS Trusts. I will share some of the challenges we faced in translating ethics into day-to-day clinical decision-making in a way that was both meaningful to clinicians and underscored the ethical basis of the decision-making process.
