OBA HEALTH LAW PROGRAM | Original Program Date: February 10, 2017

Ethical issues arise in many areas of health law and raise complex issues that legal practitioners must tackle on a daily basis. The protection of confidentiality and privacy of patients, health care institutions and health professionals must be balanced against statutory access rights and disclosure obligations, raising challenging ethical considerations.

Lawyers who work with vulnerable clients and patient populations routinely grapple with the inherent ethical dimensions of capacity, consent, substitute decision-making, power of attorney and guardianship issues. In the context of professional regulation, defence counsel, College prosecution and College staff also deal with a wide array of ethical dilemmas and practical considerations in complaints, investigations, discipline, fitness to practice and other regulatory proceedings.

Join us at Institute 2017 to navigate these tricky ethical issues and gain a better handle on how you should successfully tackle them.
