About this Event
The WHRA Ethics Council is hosting its annual workshop.
Finding a balance between dignity of risk and a duty to care can be at times morally challenging for health care teams.
Each of us has a responsibility to prevent harm to individuals under our care while respecting their right to make decisions and take risks.
This full-day hybrid workshop will explore how we discern dignity of risk while respecting and honouring the choices, values and independence of patients, residents and clients under our care.
The workshop is open to all and will be of particular interest to health care providers – including nurses, physicians, social workers, spiritual health providers, and allied health professionals – as well as health administrators, policy-makers and members of ethics committees.
Members of the public are also welcome to attend.
