Ethics for medical, nursing and paramedic practice

Ethics is one of the most frequently used terms in the field of healthcare provision. The basic textbook on medical ethics is indispensable for all groups of students and teachers of medical and non-medical health professions, as well as for all healthcare professionals whose work in the provision of pre-hospital and hospital care requires many practical responsible considerations in identifying and resolving ethical confrontational problems and dilemmas that they encounter within the framework of their profession. In today' s pluralistic society, many of them may be directed towards a legal solution. In light of the idea of prevention, the book therefore offers a comprehensive and systematic theoretical and practical explanation of the field of health ethics, including monitoring of current ethical specifics of health care.

With the ambition of adopting a practical solution as a starting point, which healthcare professionals can rely on in situations of ethical problems and dilemmas, the textbook clearly presents an overview of ethical approaches applied in healthcare practice. In the context of the stated aspiration, the teaching text includes a promising didactic phenomenon, which is the case method, which, in addition to increasing ethical sensitivity and skills in solving moral dilemmas, is an important practical and methodological tool for implementing ethics into healthcare practice.

The book presents model types of case studies from the pre-hospital and hospital care environment, which are a suitable training tool and didactic means in education.
