19th International Conference On Clinical Ethics and Consultation
The Institut des humanités en médecine UNIL-CHUV is organizing the 19th International Conference on Clinical Ethics and Consultation, that will be held in Lausanne – Switzerland, on June 5-7, 2025, with a day of pre-conference events on June 4. The congress will be placed under the following theme: “Plurality, Power, and Patient Care: The Socio-Political Dimensions of Clinical Ethics”.
Clinical ethics consultation, or healthcare ethics consultation, responds to moral uncertainty, plurality, and value conflicts in healthcare. In doing so, it transcends the borders of healthcare and touches on contentious issues of societal and political importance, such as violence, migration, gender identity, artificial intelligence, or climate change. Good clinical ethics must consider these broader socio-political issues, and clinical ethics professionals may, in turn, contribute an interesting view on these socio-political debates.
