Overview
With an increasingly mobile population across the world, healthcare professionals, more than ever, need to manage a broader range of health care problems.
The Global Healthcare Ethics programme from University of Liverpool has been designed to address these challenges and will provide you with a greater understanding of the complexities of socio-cultural factors across different countries, enabling you to develop your skills in complex decision making and ethical reasoning.
Key Features
- Its unique design focuses on bioethical issues as they appear in practice and goes beyond it by exploring how different cultures and healthcare systems tackle these problems. At the same time, the programme provides a greater understanding of socio-cultural and economic aspects of healthcare at a global level.
- This programme is unique in that it will apply ethical principles to everyday practice and will explore the moral problems encountered by health care professionals across a range of clinical scenarios, e.g.: reproductive technology, genetics, mental health, children in research, health records and ethics of patient’s data, and end of life care. Another unique point is its delivery in an international environment where students from across the world share their experiences and best practice.
Career prospects
- The programme will enhance the career opportunities for health professionals, not only by providing them with excellent ethical skills, but also supporting them to take key positions within health organisations as ethics advisers, coordinating ethics committees and supervising the quality of research design and implementation.
- With global healthcare ethics recognised as a priority by WHO, the programme will prepare you for an international career in healthcare.
- It will also help with your academic progression and prepare you for working within academia, by offering an excellent basis for a future PhD in bioethics or connected areas.
- If you are a healthcare professional from abroad this MSc will enhance your chances to get professional recognition in the UK, by familiarising you with the GMC ethics requirements and professionalism.
This master’s degree offers the opportunity to work in ethics and policy-related jobs, nationally and internationally. For example:
- Ethics committees of national and international health institutions and organisations
- The WHO
- The Nuffield Council on Bioethics
- The Department of Health
- The General Medical Council
- The British Medical Association ethics department
- Medical research centres
- Teaching ethics in medical schools.
