Synopsis:
Healthcare delivery in the 21st century can be very complex. Clinical consultations often raise scientific, ethical and legal challenges. While scientific issues may be resolved using an evidence-based medicine (EBM) approach, ethical theory is needed to justify decision-making in the face of ethical conflict.
