Prerequisites

Teaching Organisation The unit will be developed through presentations, case studies involving input from experts, research, discussion and debate and workshops with stimulus material.

This unit will identify kinds of problems encountered in decision making in health care contexts, and examine some methods for responding to those problems. It will consider the main contexts of conflict in tensions between the individual, the institution, Church and State; the main sources on conflict in modern social forces (business agendas and market pressures on health services) and in differing cultural beliefs (cultural diversity, alternative therapies, etc); and ethically-defensible approaches to handling these conflicts.
