CENTRES Clinical Ethics Conference 2024
CENTRES Clinical Ethics Conference 2024 is on the theme “Revisiting Best Interests” and will be held on 11th January 2024 & 12th January 2024 at the Kent Ridge Guild House.
About
The CENTRES Clinical Ethics Conference 2024 will focus on enhancing clarity on the principle of best interests. Although this complex topic has garnered significant attention in bioethics and legal literature, uncertainties persist when applying the principle in clinical practice. It is not always clear what ‘best interests’ is, leading to misinterpretations and conflicts in the care process.
The goal is to enable healthcare professionals to better understand what best interests mean in various contexts – patient welfare, beneficence, capacity, mental illness. The broad nature of best interests offers us the flexibility to select nuanced issues and cases for discussion.
Who should attend: Clinical Ethics Committee (CEC) chairpersons and members, doctors, nurses, medical social workers, allied health professionals, lawyers, academics, care workers and policy makers.
Continuing Professional Education Points: Will be awarded for doctors, pharmacists and nurses.
