About this Conference

As healthcare practitioners know, ethical considerations are a large part of providing care. These decisions can have huge legal implications, and it is important to be fully aware of the law which is constantly updating. This conference will focus on ethical issues regarding end-of-life care, as well as the implications of assisted decision-making legislation. We will explore palliative sedation, euthanasia and assisted suicide, mental health, and will discuss case law in relations to organ donations and transplants. We will also be looking into the new Assisted Human Reproduction Bill 2022, and its implications to ethical care.

This conference will provide healthcare and legal practitioners with up-to-date legalities on medical law and ethics and will prove an invaluable resource to anyone looking to ensure they are up to date on this ever changing legal landscape.
