Overview

How well equipped do you feel when facing ethical dilemmas in the course of your practice?

Every situation you face will be different and involve weighing up many competing interests and duties – often under significant time pressure.

Having a framework or process to rely on can help alleviate the stress of facing these situations, and ensures you consider all the relevant factors before making a decision. It can also help you to justify your decision, should the need arise.

This course:

  • outlines a practical decision making framework for approaching ethical dilemmas
  • provides the opportunity to apply this framework to two simulated ethical dilemmas
  • supports you to develop your own process and strategies for successfully navigating ethical dilemmas.
