Descrizione del congresso
Over the past thirty years Healthcare Ethics Committees (HECs) have been identified, especially in the West, as the main tool to root and support bioethical reflection in Healthcare Institutions. Indeed, under certain conditions, they have proved of great help in (a) increasing the level of perception and analysis of the new healthcare-related ethical issues; (b) integrating different professional expertise and ethical perspectives; (c) promoting a real communication between healthcare institutions and the society at large. The three main functions through which HECs express their potential are: (1) ethical analysis of clinical cases; (2) institutional guidelines’ development; (3) bioethical education. The aim of the course is to provide participants with conceptual frames and practical tools to effectively perform the above mentioned three functions. Furthermore, it aims at providing practical suggestions to setting up and running a network of HECs and to educate HEC members. Contents of the course include: a historical overview of the process of institutionalization of HECs; a theoretical justification of the importance of HECs; an introduction into the typical functions of HECs, providing for each of them a conceptual frame, a concrete experience and useful tools; practical suggestions regarding the organisation of a network of HECs and the ways to educate HEC members so that they can offer a service of high quality. As to the methods, the course will combine lectures, group discussions and workshops. All course activities and materials will be in English.
