Ethics involve determining the best course of action when presented with difficult moral or values-based choices.
Our Ethics Team is on call and available to help staff, volunteers, patients and families in situations where there are questions or concerns involving consent, capacity and substitute decision making.
Ethicists can help think through the various aspects of decisions and develop options for action. The options are then weighed against each other, using our Ethical Decision-Making Framework, to determine which option is the best for the patient.
