Fredag 29 oktober 2021 11:00 - 11:35

Föreläsare: Sandra Corr

Symposium: Försöksdjur

This presentation considers some of the ethical challenges faced by clinical academics as they try to manage the sometimes competing interests of various stakeholders in a University Teaching Hospital – the patient, owners, students and the vets themselves. We consider the concepts of framing, informed consent, and decision ethics orientations, and the use of ethical checklists.
