All of us have difficult cases that stick with us. Sometimes knowing what we theoretically ‘can’ do and what we ‘should’ do for an individual patient is morally and ethically challenging. During this event we share two cases and invite comment from leading experts in the fields of ethics, psychiatry and medico-legal practice to discuss principles that can help guide decision making. Equipping you with tools to guide better decision making for your patients.

This event will now be taking place completely virtually. We look forward to seeing you at our event!

This event is organised by the Recently Appointed Consultants' Committee.
