Kurzbeschreibung: More than ever before, clinicians are confronted with complex ethical issues in their medical practice. These include disagreements between patients, relatives, and healthcare staff over treatment decisions, issues at the beginning and end of life, medical errors, truth-telling and patient confidentiality. Recognising the growing importance of ethical awareness in medicine, the recent Ethics in Practice report of the Royal College of Physicians (2005) concluded that key medical personnel should be suitably trained in clinical ethics. Increasingly, formal examinations in medicine and nursing assess applicants on aspects of clinical ethics.

Now in its ninth year the Applied Clinical Ethics (ACE) course is aimed at practising clinicians, allied professionals and members of CECs, focusing entirely on clinical ethics and practical decision-making. Many of the speakers are both clinicians and ethicists. The convenient arrangement of two modules, falling on a Friday/Saturday, will enable delegates to apply their knowledge in between modules and interfere less with their work commitments.

The course aims to provide clinicians with added knowledge, skills and confidence to enable judicious ethical decisions in their everyday practice, and to be able to articulate (both to themselves and others) the reasoning and values underpinning their decisions. It should provide participants with a greater understanding of core ethical issues in clinical practice, as well as the analytic tools to perform an in-depth ethics case analysis and to assist colleagues in their ethical decision-making. This course also aims to inspire and enthuse participants to enrich their practice. Many ACE participants have gone on to set up ethics teaching programmes, undertake higher degrees, write articles, or become involved in clinical ethics committees and research projects.
