Clinical ethics website

The Clinical Ethics Resource is a joint project for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine and the Centre for Health Governance, Law and Ethics the University of Sydney, supported by NSW Health.  The website provides an extensive range of resources and best practice guidelines to assist health professionals with the ethical and legal issues they regularly experience. 

You can search by topic to access guidelines, legislation, case law and position statements/policies of government authorities and professional bodies. There are also references to some of the key articles and commentaries on particular topics, and the resources come from all around Australia and the world.
The website is part of a larger study into the practice of clinical ethics in New South Wales aiming to identify resources necessary to develop the clinical ethics capacity within the New South Wales health system.
