Medical ethics
It is a set of moral principles, beliefs and

values that guide us in making choices about medical care.
At the core of health care ethics is our sense of right and wrong and our beliefs about rights we possess and duties we owe others.

Medical Ethics Concept: Consequentialism
Consequentialism is a theory that says whether something

is good or bad depends on its outcomes.
If your action has overall benefit , then it does not matter about the action itself.

Слайд 7

For example,
Your patient has a terminal illness and is not likely

to survive the operation she is about to undertake. Just as she is about to be anaesthetised, she asks you: “Doctor, will I be okay?”.A consequentialist ideology supports that lying in this circumstance is acceptable, even though lying itself is not a moral action.

Слайд 8

Medical Ethics Concept: Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism says the best action is that one

that brings about the best increase in utility (benefit).
It is a theory of morality that advocates actions that foster happiness or pleasure and oppose actions that cause unhappiness or harm.

Слайд 9

Example: You have a sum of money to either fund a

very expensive treatment for one patient with a rare disease or five patients with a very common and easy-to-treat disease. Utilitarian ethics dictates that treating the five patients is morally superior as a greater overall benefit is achieved.

Слайд 10

Medical Ethics Concept: Deontology
Deontology is also known as “duty-based ethics”. This

ideology states that the correct course of action is dependent on what your duties and obligations are. It means that the morality of an action is based on whether you followed the rules, rather than what the consequence of following them was.

Слайд 11

Example: If your terminally ill patient asks if they’ll be ok

after a surgery they’re unlikely to survive, a deontological approach would suggest you don’t lie to comfort them. That’s because according to this concept, lying isn’t morally acceptable because it’s our obligation not to lie – no matter the consequences.

Слайд 12

What systems of ethics can you use to guide your choices

in life? Ethical systems can generally be broken down into three categories: deontological, teleological and virtue-based ethics. The first two are considered deontic or action-based theories of morality because they focus entirely on the actions which a person performs.

Слайд 13

Principles of medical ethics:
The four pillars of medical ethics are:
Beneficence (doing

good)
Non-maleficence (to do no harm)
Autonomy (giving the patient the freedom to choose freely, where they are able)
Justice (ensuring fairness)

Слайд 15

Beneficence and Non-maleficence
Edit
Beneficence is the act of "doing good" while non-maleficence

is the act of "not doing bad". In practical terms, medical practitioners have an ethical responsibility to strive to do what is in the best interests of their patients. However, it is important to remember that some medical interventions may seem beneficial but may also carry with them the possibility of causing harm. In fact, nearly all medical treatments and procedures, it could be argued, harm the patient in some way, but it is more to do with the magnitude of the benefit versus the magnitude of potential risks

Слайд 16

Autonomy and Consent Edit
Autonomy is the right of a patient to make

an informed, uncoerced decision about their own health management. If this principle is disregarded by a medical professional because he/she believes another decision would be better for the patient, then it is termed paternalism. An autonomous decision should never be overruled by a medical professional, but not all decisions are autonomous. For patients to have autonomy, they must have the capacity to receive, retain and repeat the information that is given to them, provided the information is complete and given to them in a manner that they can understand.

Слайд 17

Justice Edit
Justice refers to the distribution of things and positions of people

within society. In a medical setting, justice involves the allocation of health-care resources in a fair way. This may be an equal distribution (egalitarianism) or a maximization of the total or average welfare across the whole society (utilitarianism).

How To Develop Medical Ethics Knowledge
One of the best ways to

develop your understanding of medical ethics is to practice analysing situations using ethical frameworks and ideologies.
You can do this on your own, with a teacher, or with a fellow medical school applicant who could give you their perspective and share ideas.
Try to compare the outcomes given by different frameworks and consider the implications of this.
Make sure you stay up-to-date with the latest health news – and see how these ethical frameworks apply to what’s currently in the news.
