Overview

"No matter what job title or level of responsibility, one of the most complex parts of working in the healthcare field is the management of ethical dilemmas. Those often 'hard to put into words' tensions between what one side wants or thinks they want and what you or others think is best. Arguably, managing such issues is part of routine training, yet often, the advice seems token at best and downright useless at worst. In ""Beyond Right and Wrong"", we aim to provide crucial insight into the nature of modern medical practice and ethical practice and illuminate modern medicine's ethical foundations. We provide practical ways to approach routine and complex ethical challenges by equipping readers with the foundational knowledge necessary. This short text is intended for students in all healthcare fields, from medical students, nurses and paramedics to technicians, healthcare assistants and management. Juniors of all roles will benefit from insights in this text, and senior medical and nursing consultants have also been glowing in their feedback."
