CLEAR (Communication, Law, Ethics And Professional Regulations) Course on End of Life Care
02 and 03 Jul 2025
Registration open. Please register by 18 Jun 2025
Ethics lies at the heart of healthcare. For patients who are at the end-of-life and their families, it is important for healthcare professionals to apply ethical principles in order to make decisions in their best interest. Recognising this, the course will focus on the theme of “Care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)”.
Please refer to the brochure here.
In this course, participants will engage in discussions based on case vignettes commonly found in hospital settings, including intensive care units and general wards in the medical and surgical disciplines. By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Recognize fundamental ethical principles involved in decision-making for end-of-life care of complex, frail, and vulnerable patients.
- Explain the prevalent ethical dilemmas encountered in end-of-life care decision-making.
- Apply appropriate tools to analyze the ethical challenges commonly faced in end-of-life care decision-making.
Health professionals, including doctors, registered nurses, advanced practice nurses, psychosocial staff, allied health professionals, and senior management, who care for patients at the end of life, particularly patients in an ICU setting.
