Moral Distress Webinar 1: Concepts and Realities

Please join us on June 27th from 3-4PM BST for a webinar on moral distress among frontline staff in health systems. Featuring Dr Stephanie Nzekwu (University of Oxford, UK), Dr Heidi Matisonn (University of Cape Town EthicsLab, South Africa), and Dr Julia Smith (Simon Fraser University), this webinar will explore cross-cutting issues in moral distress across a range of health systems. Presenters will provide inputs on experiences of moral distress/injury in the Kenyan health system (Nzekwu), consider the relevance of the concept of moral distress in highly resource constrained settings (Mattison), and share learning from intersectional analyses of moral distress (Smith).

This is the first of a series of webinars on moral distress in health and research settings, linked to the NIHR-supported ROOTS Network (Rethinking Organisational Options to Tackle Moral Distress) and Moh Family Foundation funded work within the Pandemic Sciences Institute on frontline staff wellbeing. It is coordinated by Dr Kate McNeil and chaired by Prof Sassy Molyneux.
