Respect for Autonomy \nAutonomy is an individual's ability to m ake their own decisions free from the influence of internal or external fa ctors.\n- Internal factors are aspects of an individual that reduces their ability to exercise their autonomy. This could be delirium secondary to s epsis\, or a learning disability for example. These factors can stop an in dividual from being able to fully weigh up a situation.\n- External factor s are pressures coming from other people or an individual's environment. F or example\, the relatives of an elderly patient pressure them to refuse l ife-sustaining care in order to reduce their care bills. The pressure from the relatives.\nRules flowing from Autonomy: \n- Truth telling\n- Confide ntiality and privacy\n- Informed consent\n\n2. Beneficence\nBeneficence is acting in the best interests of a patient. This means doctors must make d ecisions that promote the health of a patient and reduce the possibility o f them coming to harm. An example of beneficence is a doctor choosing a co urse of treatment because it is proven to be effective for a patient's con dition.\nSignificant debate on beneficence arises when considering topics such as Euthanasia for the terminally ill. Arguably\, allowing an individu al to live in intolerable suffering is not in their best interests\, howev er\, the alternative (euthanasia) will lead to the ultimate harm (death).\ n\n3. Non-Maleficence\nPrimum non nocere: First do no harm! An example of a doctor violating this principle would be breast surgeon Ian Paterson\, w ho performed unnecessary operations on hundreds of women after falsely tel ling them they had cancer. This is an example of violating non-maleficence as the surgeries had no clinical benefit and therefore constituted harm.\ nThis principle commonly comes into conflict with Beneficence. Medical tre atments commonly carry side effects. For example\, many surgeries will hav e extended periods of painful recovery.\n- The Doctrine of Double Effect\n Allows for navigating these situations where\, for example\, a medical tre atment such as chemotherapy has the ultimate goal of saving a life from ca ncer (beneficence)\, but carries harmful side effects such as fatigue\, vo miting and hair loss. This principle holds that the harmful side effects c aused by a treatment are allowable as long as it is not the intended conse quence\, and the good created outweighs the harm.\nWhen applied to the Ian Paterson case\, the harm caused by breast surgery (disfigurement\, painfu l recovery and operative risk) is not permissible as there was no benefit to the patient. If the patient had been suffering from breast cancer\, the doctrine of the double effect would come into play and allow the harmful side effects of surgery as the overall outcome would be positive (removing the cancer).\n\n4. Justice \nThe principle of justice holds that all pati ents must be treated equally and equitably\, this means that resources mus t be allocated fairly\, and patient groups cannot be discriminated against . This is a founding principle of the NHS which requires patients to be tr eated based on their clinical needs rather than their ability to pay.\n\nR ecap and close Q & A\n[/spoiler]\n[spoiler title='How to book for this cou rse?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; register your details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the prelimi nary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your det ails does not book you onto the course - you need to follow step 2 below.\ n\n• Step 2: Book your place\; Once you have registered your details\, c ome back to this webpage to submit your booking below and choose your paym ent method\; to book\, click on the Submit button below.\n\n• Step 3: Ch oose and make your payment method below\; Payment by Bank Transfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment details on th e proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have made you r booking.
