- Patient autonomy, capacity to consent and the use of coercion in health care services
- Decision-making processes, communication and collaboration between health care workers, patients and next of kin
- Ethics in priority setting
Competence building
The field of clinical ethics is practically oriented and coming out of our projects are a wide range of knowledge and competence building resources. Most of this material is in Norwegian, as it is directed at health care workers in the Norwegian public health services. You will find more on our knowledge resources on this page.
