What matters? Values based care, best interests & non-beneficial treatment

Providing treatments that do not benefit the patient or align with their goals, preferences or values is a pervasive and challenging issue in health care.

This Clinical Ethics Forum for clinicians and health service managers aims to reframe value-based care in the context of disproportionate and non-beneficial treatment at end of life.

Join our expert panel to examine best interests, justice, and other ethically laden values and obligations.

This forum is a hybrid event. We encourage people who can to join our panel in person at Sydney Hospital/Sydney Eye Hospital. Online registration is also available.
