Ethics Resource Forum

The Ethics Resource Forum 

Membership represents sites across PHC and includes patient partners. 

The mandate of the Ethics Resource From includes:

  • Promoting broad ethics knowledge across members' networks
     
  • Enhancing the capacity for ethical reflection and decision making at PHC
     
  • Considering ethical issues and concerns that affect patients, clinical units, teams, programs, services, and the organization as a whole
     

Current membership

The Ethics Resource Forum is comprised of patients, family members, administrators, physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals who are interested in ethical issues that arise in health care settings
