The existing literature in medical ethics does not serve the practical needs of medical students and trainees very well. Medical students or junior doctors often have their own set of ethical concerns and the dilemmas that arise are generally beyond their direct control. The editors have addressed the gap in the literature by compiling a series of case studies from around the world and inviting an international team of leading ethicists and clinicians to comment on them. This volume includes over 80 actual cases that cover the range of possible problems a medical trainee may encounter on the ward.

Review
"I think this book is excellent...This is a book that should be read by those who teach students, by those who train doctors, and by those who oversee undergraduate and postgraduate medical education." Ethics and Medicine
"The book uses more than 80 real life cases--followed by comments from international experts from varying fields--aiming to empower readers to reach their own conclusions...this book addresses a huge range of topics." British Medical Journal
"The mode of writing adds appeal and immediacy to the text...much of the advice is wise and helpful, and the writers avoid platitudinous suggestions about standing up for 'the right' in the face of instructions from seniors and teachers." Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
"Ward Ethics is also very suitable for trainee doctors, if not all doctors, and I would recommend it to anyone with the slightest interest in medical ethics." Journal of Medical Ethics

Book Description
Medical trainees have a need for practical guidance to the daily ethical issues they encounter on the ward. The editors have addressed this by compiling a series of case studies from around the world and inviting an international team of leading ethicists and clinicians to comment on them. Over 80 actual cases cover the range of possible problems a medical trainee may encounter on the ward, from drug and alcohol abuse, whistleblowing and improper sexual conduct to handling authority, disclosure, blaming, personal responses to patients, and misrepresentation of research.
