This 9-hour course equips participants with the skills to address ethical issues in patient care and professional relationships. Participants will learn to apply ethical principles in obtaining informed consent, maintaining patient confidentiality and managing professional relationships. The course explores the implications of South African legal frameworks on patient rights, strategies for equitable allocation of limited healthcare resources and ethical considerations in healthcare management, including COVID-19 response.
