The Centre for Social Ethics and Policy (CSEP) and the Institute of Science, Ethics and Innovation (iSEI) has launched a comprehensive package of short online courses in medical ethics and law.
What people are saying about the Medical Decision-Making package:
CPD Student Dr Louise Turnball: “I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. It has given me a good grounding in the basics of medical ethics and law. The content is interesting and written in a clear and concise manner. Being an online course I can pick it up and put it down whenever convenient and having a short online quiz at the end of each section is brilliant to test my recall. Having no essays to write made this course possible for me as I generally have a very busy schedule already!”
CPD student November 2011 "A good introduction to medical law suitable for a variety of disciplines. This will no doubt prove to be useful in clinical practice, helping students understand and also avoid litigation. Friendly and helpful staff to guide you though registration and study modules"
Joanne Kerr, Lecturer and Adult Branch Co-ordinator, School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work, University of Manchester: “This course is user-friendly, extremely well written and well presented. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course to my colleagues, nurses and midwives who want to develop their professional skills enabling them to make informed judgments about a variety of relevant ethical issues. The course also has the potential to enhance students’ ability to communicate, debate and critically analyse clearly and effectively, online and with other professionals. In today's climate it is important that University's provide online courses that will empower professionals to help others to clarify their own thinking on such important ethical and legal issues.”
Introduction
These courses are designed to replace traditional CPD ‘study days’ with targeted electronic courses that can be completed at the convenience of participants from any internet enabled computer. This allows health care professionals to maintain their continuing professional development using innovative and stimulating material of the highest quality in a flexible way that fits easily around other commitments. These courses have a number of advantages of other CPD courses in this area:
- You can study when suits you and from home.
-
You get plenty of time to do the online courses and so can spread your study over weeks and months.
-
You can complete the courses quickly online without the need to visit a library or consult any other material.
-
If you wish to follow up any of the work that you do on these courses you will have full library access (including e-journals) while working on these courses.
-
The courses are developed by leading academics in this field from one of the most prestigious Centres and Institutes in the world.
-
The courses are easily accessible and require no prior knowledge.
-
The courses are targeted at health care professionals but also open to non-healthcare professionals with an interest in these areas.
- 10% discount for Alumni of University of Manchester

- the moral status of the embryo and its implications
- organ donation
- autonomy in pregnancy
- genetic testing and information
- genetic manipulation and enhancement
- stem cell research and therapy
- research on animals
- resource allocation
These courses are accessible to everyone whether they have any previous background in ethics or not.
There will also be additional course for those wishing to get a deeper understanding of some of the theoretical foundations of bioethics including more advanced moral reasoning and argument, consequentialism, deontology virtue ethics, care ethics, autonomy, beneficence, paternalism, justice and ethics and the law.
These courses can be bought individually and will cost around £90 for an individual course, again with discounts available on block bookings. Details of how to enrol on these courses will be posted on this site by Christmas 2011 but if you want to any further information or have any requests for future courses get in touch with me (Dr Becki Bennett ).
