The December 2021 Singapore Palliative Care Conference includes a one-day workshop on Communication, Law, Ethics and Professional Regulations (CLEaR).
CLEaR is conducted by Clinical Ethics consultants with the aim of advocating a systematic approach to ethico-legal analysis of complex clinical scenarios, as well as performing tactful, empathetic communication in mitigating conflicts amongst healthcare professionals, patients and carers.
The workshop utilizes a flipped classroom, team-based learning pedagogy and has received excellent feedback from participants. CLEaR promises a stimulating and empowering experience for healthcare professionals frequently engaged in end-of-life decision-making.
Topics include:
Medical futility and mitigation of futility conflicts
Withdrawal and withholding of life sustaining treatment
Euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide and palliative care
Mental capacity, the authority of families and lasting power of attorney (LPA)
Advance care planning and the impact on extent of care determinations
Objectives:
Understand ethical principles and local legislatures relevant to end-of-life care
Learn a structured approach for ethical case analysis using Jonsen’s 4 Quadrant framework
Learn a process-based approach to mitigate conflicts
