		Medical Ethics: Medical Students’ Perspectives on Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide and Their Views on Legalising These Practices in SA Medical Ethics: Medical Students’ Perspectives on Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide and Their Views on Legalising These Practices in SA Overview Euthanasia/physician assisted suicide have been a controversial and sometimes taboo topic for a long time, not only in SA but also internationally. A recent (SA) judicial case has seen the topic debated again. Consensus on accepting or abolishing these practices in SA has yet to be reached. All relevant role players need to be adequately engaged before policy can be informed. The objectives were to determine the views of future doctors (medical students) regarding euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (PAS) and to ascertain their stance on its legalisation in South Africa (SA). Many factors influenced participants’ responses, but differences in opinion between and within the various religious groups were particularly evident in the responses received/ More than half the respondents in this study were open to legalising euthanasia/PAS, substantially more than in previous studies. However, only 41.9% of respondents would consider performing euthanasia/ PAS, for certain patients. Views of other healthcare workers as well as the public are required before policy can be informed.

Medical Ethics: AI Ethics – Too Principled to Fail? Medical Ethics: AI Ethics – Too Principled to Fail? Overview AI Ethics is now a global topic of discussion in academic and policy circles. At least 63 public-private initiatives have produced statements describing high-level principles, values, and other tenets to guide the ethical development, deployment, and governance of AI. According to recent meta-analyses, AI Ethics has seemingly converged on a set of principles that closely resemble the four classic principles of medical ethics. Despite the initial credibility granted to a principled approach to AI Ethics by the connection to principles in medical ethics, there are reasons to be concerned about its future impact on AI development and governance. Significant differences exist between medicine and AI development that suggest a principled approach in the latter may not enjoy success comparable to the former. Compared to medicine, AI development lacks (1) common aims and fiduciary duties, (2) professional history and norms, (3) proven methods to translate principles into practice, and (4) robust legal and professional accountability mechanisms. These differences suggest we should not yet celebrate consensus around high-level principles that hide deep political and normative disagreement.

Medical Ethics: What is the place for philosophy within the field of medicine? A review of contemporary issues in medical ethics Medical Ethics: What is the place for philosophy within the field of medicine? A review of contemporary issues in medical ethics Overview This extended essay seeks to unpack some of the key aspects of philosophy which are applicable to medical thought and practice. It proceeds via an analytical discussion of the contemporary debate in three key areas of medical ethics: euthanasia, concepts of health and disease and psychiatry. The main claims are as follows: 1. The case for legalising euthanasia is strong on philosophical grounds but there are numerous practical obstacles. 2. Elements from the normative and naturalistic definitions of disease are necessary for a thorough definition that dodges common objections to either. 3. Mental health cannot be subsumed under a purely physicalist model of health rendering it distinctly different from other fields in Medicine. Through a detailed discussion of three salient issues in the philosophy of medicine, it is argued that the application of profound philosophical thought to medicine and its practices reveals a depth that necessitates exploration before simply following the aims of curing all. Philosophical rigour matched with modern medicine has the potential to engage patients and help them make independent, informed decisions and assist physicians to think more clearly, analytically and empathetically.

Medical Ethics: Ethics of the Placebo in Clinical Practice. Medical Ethics: Ethics of the Placebo in Clinical Practice. OVERVIEW The placebo is not easy to define. As a matter of fact, some scholars are despaired of the possibility of ever finding an adequate definition for the term. However, many current definitions invoke the non-specific nature of the treatment effects as the leading feature of the placebo. The object of this article was however to address the question of the placebo in clinical practice. This article nonetheless argued that the placebo could be an effective treatment. The article further argued that the use of the placebo does not entail deception. This article equally highlighted guidelines under which the placebo may be used for clinical purposes. This article further suggested that in selected cases, the use of the placebo may also be morally imperative. It is imperative to state that the arguments in this article were presented by three case vignettes. The article was concluded that the placebo can be beneficial to physicians of many clinical situations ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AUTHORS: Lichtenberg U Heresco-Levy, U Nitzan JOURNAL: BMJ Journal of Medical Ethics PUBLISHER: BMJ Open URL: http://www.group.bmj.com	Medical Ethics: Ethics of the Placebo in Clinical Practice.

ABOUT US

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme is designed to assist you as a health practitioner to maintain and develop your academic and professional credentials. It keeps you up-to-date with the latest development and upgrades your knowledge, skills and capabilities enabling you to be effective and compliant.

Quick
Convenient
Affordable

cpdexpress offers you a quick, convenient and affordable one-stop-shop platform where you can acquire all your CPD points by means of online courses in order to be compliant with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). CPD points are mandatory in order for you to retain your professional license.

cpdexpress developed an automated platform providing Continuing Professional Development, which Health Care Providers can make use of, from the convenience of their office/home at a time suitable to them.

cpdexpress offers you a wide variety of courses (20-50 per discipline) to select from. Each course is followed by a multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ), which once passed (70% pass rate required), you will obtain CPD points (usually 3 points per course) towards the total number of CPD points required by HPCSA (typically 30 points per annum plus 6 Ethics points which can all be obtained online).

Once the assessment is passed a certificate is issued and will be emailed to you as well as being available to be downloaded immediately or any other time in the future. All the courses which we offer are HPCSA accredited and where applicable health professional can apply for cross accreditation with the AHPCSA.

Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) randomly audits their registered practitioners and if they are not compliant they have 6 months in which to obtain their CPD points.

cpdexpress offers individual courses at competitive prices as well as a package deal at a significantly reduced rate if the professional elects to acquire all 30 CPD points (typically 10 courses) in order to obtain the total number of CPD points required (typically 30 + 6 Ethics for health practitioners)

HOW DOES IT WORK

cpdexpress offers you a quick, convenient and affordable one-stop-shop platform where you can acquire CPD points by means of on-line courses. cpdexpress offers you a wide variety of courses (20-50 per discipline) to select from.

All courses which are relevant to your discipline are grouped under one heading. You therefore need to navigate to the discipline, which is relevant to you. To do that simply start typing the name of your discipline (e.g. General Practitioner, Paramedics, Physiotherapy ...) in the search bar and as you start typing the predictive search feature will immediately start displaying the relevant disciplines.

Click on the correct discipline and you the courses which are relevant to you will be displayed. You may purchase individual courses at competitive prices or one of our package deals at a significantly reduced rate if you elect to acquire all 30 CPD points (typically 10 courses), or 15 or 9 CPD point packages if that better suits your needs.

Once you select the courses or the package which suit your needs you will be able to attend the online course and exams. When you are ready to purchase your certificate of accreditation for that particular course/s you will be required to follow a simple registration process (email, title, name, practice number…). It is important to pay careful attention to the details you enter as the certificate for the courses attended online will be issued accordingly. You will then have the option of buying a "credit package" if you haven't already done so, or to use available credits for the course, or to purchase the course using a credit card. If you are purchasing a package or a course you will then be directed to a secure payment page where you will be offered a variety of payment options. Once your payment is successfully processed you will be able to attend the online courses at your leisure. Each course is followed by a multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ), which once passed (70% pass rate required), you will obtain CPD points (usually 3 points per course) towards the total number of CPD points required by HPCSA (typically 30 points per annum plus 6 Ethics points which points are valid for 2 years). If you fail the exam you will have two more attempts to pass at no additional costs. HPCSA allows a maximum of 3 attempts to pass an exam.

Once the assessment is passed a certificate is issued and is available to be downloaded immediately or any time in the future. The CPD Certificate will be issued to the name and HPCSA Registration Number which you provided on registration, you therefore need to make sure that both the name and the HPCSA number entered are correct.
