Liesel Beckmann Symposium 2016: "Ethical Counselling in the Age of Personalized Medicine and Diversity Issues" - Conference - Deutschland

Date: 25.11.2016, 08:30-18:45h
Location: Technische Universität München Institute for Advanced Study Lichtenbergstraße 2 a 85748 Garching
Garching
Deutschland
Keywords: Medical ethics
Details: Especially nowadays, in the age of globalisation and of personalised medicine, the daily activity of a hospital is fraught with ethical controversies and difficult ethical decisions to be made by clinicians, patients and caregivers. Frequently, these decisions become entangled in gender issues, cultural differences, moral values and religious beliefs. Under these circumstances the need of services for ethical decision-making support has grown. In this symposium we want to investigate how the three terms involved in this topic (ethical counselling, personalised medicine, diversity) are interlaced and how they can be positively connected in order to increase patients’ empowerment and patients’ quality of the ethical choices.
