NUR610: Bioethics and Law for Health Care Leadership

This unit will focus on recognising actual and potential ethical dilemmas in professional practice and health care leadership, and how ethical decisions are made, justified and reviewed. A conceptual framework will be used to explore the role of the decision makers which includes their actual and perceived roles, professional values, and communication and collaboration practices when decisions with an ethical dimension have to be made. Ethical decision making in professional practice and health care leadership will also be examined.
