Ethics in Child Health: Free Introductory Overview

Part of the Ethics in Child Health series of short courses | Free Introductory Overview.

In this free introductory overview you will learn more about the Ethics in Child Health series of short courses, their content and structure.

Have you ever:

• Been in a situation of having to give “bad news” to families?
• Had a family pursue alternative therapies against the advice of their clinicians?
• Had to consider parental and family well-being as part of a child’s assessment?

These are a few of the scenarios faced by those who work in neurodevelopmental disability on a daily basis.

We offer clinicians and other professionals a set of guiding principles that overlap with and complement principles of ‘best practice’ and practical clinical wisdom. The authors are distinguished experts drawn from all over Europe and North America. The emphasis throughout is on clinical methods, the use of appropriate investigations and treatments, and the avoidance of unnecessary or potentially harmful interventions:

• Complements your clinical training to improve knowledge and clinical practice in an important but often neglected area of practice;
• Newly-recorded original video content for an immersive and personal learning experience;
• Interact with the material by answering reflective activities to immerse yourself in a personal response to ethical issues;
• Read further with references and supplementary materials;
• Receive a PDF certificate on completion, and  documents of your submitted responses and personal notes.

This course is designed to help clinicians, therapists and nurses, as well as policy-makers, to put practical ethical thinking at the heart of care.
