5th Annual LEVEL TWO: ETHICS RESOURCE WORKSHOP WHAT IS THE WRHA ETHICS RESOURCE STRATEGY? When ethical issues arise in direct care, it is important to know how and where to access a range of information, education or support. The WRHA Ethics Resource Strategy is designed to improve the availability of ethics resources in the Winnipeg region, particularly in a number of direct care contexts that historically have had few such resources. This is being achieved through a multi-level model: Level One: General – The promotion both of the relevance of ethics for staff throughout the Region and of the value of health care provider participation in introductory ethics courses. LEVEL TWO: ETHICS RESOURCES – The identification, education and support of health care providers who have already completed introductory ethics courses and who are willing to attend the WRHA Level Two: Ethics Resource Workshop. This workshop is designed to increase their knowledge of ethics in decision-making in order to be peer resources for others on health care teams. Level Three: Advanced Ethics Resources – Involvement of those with additional expertise to assist when ethical issues arise. This level includes individuals completing post-graduate ethics qualifications; ethics committees; practice leaders in particular direct care contexts; and those with related expertise – health law, privacy, patient safety, conflict resolution, etc. Level Four: Clinical Ethicists – Involvement of those with the qualifications and specialization to work as ethics consultants. They lead clinical ethics teams or services, participate on ethics committees, and engage in related education and research activities. CALL FOR REGISTRATIONS!
