Join us for a public lecture:
Moral Distress in Healthcare: It's origins and ethical implications with Professor Megan Best, Bioethicist and Palliative Care Physician
When a healthcare professional knows what ought to be done to provide excellent patient care, but is prevented from doing it, moral distress can occur. This is because one’s core ethical values have been violated. This presentation will include examples of contemporary situations which can elicit moral distress, and the impact it can have on both patient and healthcare professionals.
Professor Megan Best has over 30 years of experience in palliative care and medical ethics. She is currently a Professor of Bioethics at the Institute for Ethics and Society at The University of Notre Dame Australia. She has also researched extensively in the areas of spirituality in healthcare, whole person care and psycho-oncology.
