There is always the possibility of conflict between a doctor’s view and that of the patient. This session explores some of the common ethical issues that confront doctors in their day to day practice.

This session was reviewed by Khyati Bakhai and last updated in June 2021.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • list three factors that need to be considered when faced by an ethical dilemma in a consultation
  • describe briefly the six bioethical principles
  • list four circumstances in which it is acceptable to breach confidentiality
  • outline the reasons why breaching confidentiality creates ethical tensions

Over recent years, the role of the GP has evolved and broadened as a result of social and political developments.
