MC Leadership in Medical Ethics

Uitgebreide vaknaam	MC Leadership in Medical Ethics
Leerdoelen	To increase knowledge of end-of-life decision making in children and adults, learn about the actual practice and reflect on the ethical aspects.
Omschrijving	Technological developments have provided tools to deal with many consequences of premature birth and congenital anomalies. However, there are still conditions that we cannot treat and cases where treatment fails. The decision when to start and when to withhold or withdraw treatment in individual cases is very difficult. Even more difficult are the decisions regarding end of life measures in infants who have no hope for improvement and lead a life of severe suffering that can not be alleviated. This scenario of potential consequences of high-tech support is also well known in adult medicine.When should we withhold and/or withdraw support and when and how can an autonomous person decide that enough is enough if suffering becomes hopeless and unbearable? This masterclass will introduce the participants to the practice and ethics of end-of-life decision making. We will talk about the ethical dilemmas and learn about the different perspectives of the healthcare providers, the nurses, parents, children and other stakeholders. We will reflect on the leadership roles connected to these perspectives.
