Ethics: The Fourth Dimension of Care at the End of Life
A preconference seminar from the Colorado Center for Hospice & Palliative Care
October 29, 2008, 1:00-4:00 PM, Beaver Run Resort, Breckenridge
This interactive seminar will provide an intensive introduction to ethical principles and consultation techniques based in actual case studies for health care and social service professionals and volunteers serving persons at the end of life. Awareness of the ethical dimension of care — along with the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual — is increasingly essential not only for quality care but to protect staff from moral distress leading to fatigue and even burnout. Ethics committee formation, education, and activity will also be addressed. Participants will be equipped with practical tools to implement right away in settings of any size or level of ethics activity. To register and for more information on this seminar and the full conference, visit www.cochpc.org/conferences.
