Workshop
Theme
This
workshop will focus on resource allocation issues that arise at the “micro”
or individual level between caregivers and people receiving healthcare
services. The day will consist of a mixture of presentation, discussion,
break-out workshop groups, panel session and case study analysis. The
emphasis will be on providing both a theoretical framework for approaching
micro-resource allocation issues and an examination of actual dilemmas
faced and methods of approaching them.
Objectives
of Workshop
• Participants will have the opportunity to work through ethical
problems for caregivers and people receiving care both in institutions
and in the community using an ethical decision-making framework.
• Participants will have the opportunity to meet and discuss issues
with individuals and groups interested in health ethics in Alberta.
• Participants will learn about health ethics resources available
in the province and country.

Should Attend?
Any health care provider, ethics committee member, administrator, policy
