The Clinical Ethics Consult Committee provides expert consultation
to all members of the Duke Hospital Community, faculty, nurses,
staff, patients and visitors, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Anyone can ask for advice, which may evolve into a formal consult,
or stay as an anonymous phone call, by paging 919-970-8209.
We realize that many ethical issues arising in clinical medicine
may not be amenable to simple and quick answers; Clinical Ethics
Consultants aim to provide practical advice in a variety of clinical
situations. These include issues surrounding the beginning and end
of life, ability to participate in medical decisions and surrogacy,
and futility. The ethics consultation service also works closely
with the faculty in the Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities and History of Medicine to provide comprehensive answers for a full range of
ethical issues.
Ethics Consultations are available for outpatients as well as inpatients.
Ethics consultants are available to answer questions informally,
refer to relevant literature, and provide full ethics consultations.
Members of the Ethics Consult Committee serve for a term of 5 years
and undergo rigorous training and continuing education. The Committee
meets twice a month. Current members include:
