    hello ethical decision making and
  • 00:00:04
    Pharmacy practice is a major aspect of
  • 00:00:06
    of our daily lives
  • 00:00:09
    to facilitate ethical decision making I
  • 00:00:12
    present to you today a framework that
  • 00:00:15
    you might find useful
  • 00:00:17
    and that we will be using in the series
  • 00:00:21
    that FIP is presenting on ethical
  • 00:00:24
    scenarios in Pharmacy practice
  • 00:00:32
    to follow an ethical decision making I
  • 00:00:34
    suggested as follows
  • 00:00:36
    first of all we identify all the facts
  • 00:00:40
    and by that I mean not just you know
  • 00:00:43
    someone coming in to ask for something
  • 00:00:45
    and that's it but who are the people
  • 00:00:47
    involved who might this
  • 00:00:50
    um also involve behind the scenes what
  • 00:00:52
    are the facts uh in terms of history of
  • 00:00:55
    medical history of
  • 00:00:57
    um any other
  • 00:00:59
    aspects that might
  • 00:01:01
    shed light on how to go about making a
  • 00:01:05
    decision in very quickly sometimes but
  • 00:01:07
    history taking is a major importance
  • 00:01:11
    then we'd identify the ethical
  • 00:01:13
    principles this is important because
  • 00:01:15
    also we need to know what's involved is
  • 00:01:18
    it just um an issue or is it something
  • 00:01:20
    an issue involving you know this
  • 00:01:23
    principle and that one and which one is
  • 00:01:26
    going to over outweigh the other
  • 00:01:31
    whether there are legal constraints is
  • 00:01:33
    an important issue to identify as well
  • 00:01:36
    and very quickly you would know this
  • 00:01:37
    because all practitioners would know
  • 00:01:40
    their legal
  • 00:01:41
    requirements of practice
  • 00:01:44
    and human values some people would say
  • 00:01:46
    why would I need to take that into
  • 00:01:48
    consideration well I would say because
  • 00:01:50
    it's so important that we recognize the
  • 00:01:54
    fact that human values plays a great
  • 00:01:55
    role in healthcare take for example
  • 00:01:57
    Trust
  • 00:01:59
    if people don't trust us how would they
  • 00:02:01
    approach us
  • 00:02:02
    empathy sympathy
  • 00:02:07
    we then identify the options and
  • 00:02:10
    sometimes we only have a split second to
  • 00:02:11
    do this but we identify those options
  • 00:02:14
    and we
  • 00:02:16
    attach or recognize for each option and
  • 00:02:20
    implication
  • 00:02:21
    something that's going to happen as a
  • 00:02:23
    result of this decision
  • 00:02:25
    if I say option one has an implication
  • 00:02:28
    going that way and option two has
  • 00:02:30
    another implication going that way
  • 00:02:32
    sometimes the red face test is the one
  • 00:02:35
    that is the is the clinching of the deal
  • 00:02:38
    so to speak because it tests whether
  • 00:02:41
    it's going to embarrass us or is it
  • 00:02:43
    going to embarrass someone is it going
  • 00:02:45
    to be of concern to someone or to the
  • 00:02:48
    profession
  • 00:02:49
    um that would probably guide us as to
  • 00:02:52
    where to go
  • 00:02:54
    we have to make that decision fairly
  • 00:02:56
    quickly
  • 00:02:57
    professionals don't have time to sit
  • 00:02:59
    there scratching their head for too long
  • 00:03:01
    right but we also have to know how to
  • 00:03:05
    justify that decision justification of
  • 00:03:08
    ethical decision making is about the
  • 00:03:10
    most important step in the whole process
  • 00:03:14
    and that is because we are accountable
  • 00:03:16
    and if someone calls us or questions us
  • 00:03:20
    on why we made that decision we need to
  • 00:03:22
    have a good justification and that
  • 00:03:24
    justification isn't well I felt it was
  • 00:03:27
    right no there are principles we can
  • 00:03:29
    quote there are principles or practice
  • 00:03:33
    we can talk about and because we're
  • 00:03:35
    human and we make errors no one is going
  • 00:03:37
    to go through life without making some
  • 00:03:39
    kind of mistake we revisit and reflect
  • 00:03:42
    on how it could have been done better
  • 00:03:45
    how we could have made a better decision
  • 00:03:47
    could it have been better or was that
  • 00:03:49
    the best that was possible we reflect we
  • 00:03:52
    revisit sometimes we make protocols
  • 00:03:55
    based on revisiting and reflecting
  • 00:03:59
    you might ask how we justify those
  • 00:04:03
    decisions so I'm going to go a little
  • 00:04:05
    bit into how what do we draw on
  • 00:04:09
    the main thing I would suggest would be
  • 00:04:11
    to know your four principles of
  • 00:04:13
    bioethics those four pillars are so
  • 00:04:16
    important and they cover most of the
  • 00:04:18
    scope of our ethical dilemmas in
  • 00:04:19
    practice
  • 00:04:21
    so try and remember those I'll remind
  • 00:04:23
    you of them in a minute you might have a
  • 00:04:25
    code of ethics handy or you know it by
  • 00:04:28
    heart you know that would be great but
  • 00:04:31
    remember that principles that will help
  • 00:04:34
    you from that code and if all else fails
  • 00:04:37
    you could always go back to General
  • 00:04:39
    moral philosophy what's right what's
  • 00:04:41
    wrong
  • 00:04:42
    um
  • 00:04:43
    and Theory sometimes it's something like
  • 00:04:45
    you know the greater good for the
  • 00:04:46
    greater number or social justice
  • 00:04:49
    um that helps it's not very specific but
  • 00:04:52
    it still helps to justify a decision if
  • 00:04:55
    you don't remember the for example the
  • 00:04:57
    principles of bioethics in healthcare
  • 00:05:00
    and here are the principles
  • 00:05:03
    that I'm talking about and their scope
  • 00:05:06
    is amazingly
  • 00:05:08
    um Broad and covering most issues so if
  • 00:05:13
    you remember
  • 00:05:14
    beneficence first principle being to do
  • 00:05:18
    good
  • 00:05:18
    to do things in the best interest of the
  • 00:05:21
    patient
  • 00:05:22
    and to do no harm non-maleficence
  • 00:05:26
    some people regard this ancient
  • 00:05:29
    Principle as one of the most important
  • 00:05:31
    pillars of practice
  • 00:05:34
    and respect for patient autonomy is
  • 00:05:37
    often regarded as first among equals in
  • 00:05:39
    this day and age when we need to respect
  • 00:05:42
    people's individuality and their right
  • 00:05:44
    to choose
  • 00:05:45
    and of course there is Justice and this
  • 00:05:48
    is based on the theory of social justice
  • 00:05:51
    and equity and um
  • 00:05:56
    rights to access just as everyone is has
  • 00:06:00
    the right to access medication and good
  • 00:06:03
    health
  • 00:06:05
    so in summary
  • 00:06:07
    if you could possibly just remember this
  • 00:06:10
    table it will help you quickly run
  • 00:06:13
    through quite efficiently through the
  • 00:06:15
    ethical decision making what are the
  • 00:06:17
    facts Who's involved what's involved
  • 00:06:20
    what ethical principles
  • 00:06:23
    um are incurred what legal issues if any
  • 00:06:27
    apply
  • 00:06:28
    what human values will move us to make
  • 00:06:31
    one decision or another especially if
  • 00:06:33
    it's something to do with the patient's
  • 00:06:35
    value
  • 00:06:36
    and what options do we have what
  • 00:06:39
    implications they each have of those
  • 00:06:42
    options
  • 00:06:43
    and whether or not they pass the red
  • 00:06:45
    face test
  • 00:06:47
    you make that choice
  • 00:06:49
    and you make sure that you have a
  • 00:06:51
    principled justification
  • 00:06:54
    to defend that decision
  • 00:06:57
    thank you for listening
