Thursday 10th April 6.30pm for 7.30pm start Ethical Dilemmas An Ethical Dilemma often puts you in the position of conflict between your moral and legal obligations. There’s no real easy answer to these dilemmas, however as a pharmacist we must make a decision in the best interests of your patient– that’s what being a professional is all about! You might need to stand up in court and say “I made this decision, which I believed, as a professional, was in the best interests of the patient…..” Come along to compare and contrast your view with colleagues as to the best way to approach certain scenarios. Reflecting about actions you would take, or indeed have taken in the past, may change your views and inform your future practice. All scenarios have been considered so that they are applicable regardless of the sector of the profession in which you work. This event is also being held on 1st April - Holiday Inn Hotel, Great North Road, Seaton Burn, to enable members in different work/home locations to attend a convenient session.
