What is the role of the ethics committee and how can they best support the client and his family?

When faced with ethical or difficult decisions, the committee’s role is to offer guidance and support. The ethics committees are usually composed of various professionals to allow for multiple viewpoints when choosing a path of action. When it comes to helping clients and their family members, these professionals can help by providing resources like patient advocacy services or counseling services.

Additionally, ethics committees can act as a bridge between healthcare providers and patients; for instance, if there is disagreement amongst those involved about how best to approach a situation then the committee can step in and help facilitate conversations so that everyone’s opinions are heard—allowing for better understanding which could lead to more satisfactory outcomes.

These groups, which are made up of people from different disciplines, can also serve as a source that is unbiased when it comes to giving advice on legal or ethical issues. This ensures the individuals who make life-altering choices have access unbiased information. The ethics committee can help clients make better decisions by offering resources and acting as a facilitator.
