Dignity of Risk: Honouring Choices, Values & Independence
Fourth Annual Ethics Workshop

Dignity.png

The WHRA Ethics Council looks forward to welcoming you.

Finding a balance between dignity of risk and a duty to care can be at times morally challenging for health care teams.

This full-day hybrid workshop will explore how we discern dignity of risk while respecting and honouring the choices, values and independence of patients, residents and clients under our care.

Friday, November 6  •  8:30 AM - 3:45 PM
Parish Hall - Paroisse des Saints-Martyrs-Canadiens
