Course Overview

In Singapore’s multi-faceted society, it is becoming increasingly crucial for allied health professionals to extend their capabilities to work with clients of different races, culture. and religions. Additionally, you may also need to work with special populations, in specific, patients with HIV, teenage pregnancy and the elderly. Being aware of & familiar with ethical considerations when dealing with clients with such profiles is a very necessary knowledge to have. This 1-day workshop equips participants with such knowledge using case studies and peer discussions.

Part A: Ethics

-  Key ethical issues
  • Consent
  • Confidentiality
  • Boundaries & Multiple Relationships
  • Competence
  • Record-Keeping
​
     For each of the above, the discussion will focus on the importance of the variable and the impact if it is violated. 

-  Ethical decision-making models

     What are the common models and the problem-solving steps?

Part B: Multicultural Issues in Ethics

-  Focus will be on diversity variables, such as race, religion, gender, socioeconomic status, disability status, etc and how these factors impact
    on ethics. 


-  Case discussions

     Participants in small groups will apply the ethical-decision making models to real ethical dilemmas that they have encountered. 
​
Part C: Working with Special Populations
  • HIV infection
  • Elderly
  • Teenage pregnancy

    Discussion will focus on consent and confidentiality. For instance, is it permitted for the allied health professional to break confidentiality
   when working with an adult client with HIV? Likewise, in the case of a 15-year old female client who reports being in a sexual relationship,
   can confidentiality be broken? If so, what will be the circumstances that permit it?
