Ethics are at the heart of the most controversial health care issues today, such as end-of- life decisions.
UBC Nursing, in partnership with BC Women’s and Children’s Hospitals and the UBC Centre for Applied Ethics, is co-presenting the Canadian Bioethics Society’s 25th Annual Conference in Vancouver in May 2014. This will be a national interdisciplinary forum to push forward thinking and research that affects ethical theory and practice in health care.
Speakers will tackle topics such as: ethics and equity in harm reduction (Dr. Julio Montaner), Aboriginal health (Cree Elder Willie Ermine), the history of ethics (Dr. Nuala Kenny), and health research (Dr. Michael McDonald).
