Clinical ethics

Many of our daily activities involve making ethical decisions however big or small.

Ethics refers to the rules and principles which distinguish between right and wrong and although these principles do not always dictate a single moral course of action they can provide a means of evaluating and deciding among competing options.

Needless to say ethical dilemmas are common at a place like Great Ormond Street Hospital so a Clinical Ethics Service has been developed to ensure that you feel supported and prepared to make these decisions.

For more detailed information on how to access the Clinical Ethics Service please visit the Clinical Ethics Centre section.
