Clinical Ethics: Perioperative Care (Part 1)

The bioethics team at Deakin University’s School of Medicine is offering a one day, fully catered, interprofessional short course focusing on Clinical Ethics of Perioperative Care. At this stage we do NOT anticipate offering the perioperative course again in 2026 due to competing commitments.

The course has been designed by Deakin Bioethics in collaboration with clinicians involved in perioperative care. Participants will explore recent developments and debates in clinical ethics, with a focus on common challenges for those working in perioperative care.

Providing a practical introduction to ethical decision-making, the course will facilitate learning through the use of case studies and interprofessional, facilitated small group discussions. Please note that more information about local and international faculty will be provided closer to the date. You can view information about faculty involved in previous iterations of the course here.

The course will be held at Deakin's beautiful corporate campus, "Deakin Downtown", 727 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000.

Tickets are inclusive of course materials and refreshments (coffee, morning & afternoon tea, lunch).

All attendees will receive a certificate of completion, identifying the number of CPD hours for the course.
