Course Overview

The data supporting end-of-life care ethics is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. In healthcare, a weakness in this part of health and pharmaceutical services is eventually paid for by a patient. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the practice within health and pharmaceutical services rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Improvement in end-of-life care ethics stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this part of health and pharmaceutical services. Mature organisations treat this area of health and pharmaceutical services as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in end-of-life care ethics, not around theory headings. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this part of health and pharmaceutical services, in large organisations and small ones alike. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.
