Paper Details
The case study will assess all of the learning outcomes. You have been provided with a contemporary health law case study that reflects some of the diverse and challenging issues that can arise within the provision of any health care service. You are required to identify and discuss the legal and ethical issues presented in this scenario.
You are expected to submit your case study with appropriate grammar, spelling, sentences, paragraphs and references. It should be structured using the following ‘APA Level 2’ headings:
Introduction
Legal Issues
Ethical Issues
Conclusion
Your case study should contain five separate sections.
Introduction
Legal Issues
Ethical Issues
Conclusion
References
Introduction
A short paragraph that directs the readers to what you will discuss in your report. You can introduce the main legal and ethical issues you are going to discuss.
Legal Issue
Begin by asking yourself, what controversy is present? This will help you to state the legal problem presented by the facts.
What law will apply? The law for the issue will require you to identify the elements that must be proved. Also consider:
Who bears the onus of proof
What the standard of proof is
What possible defences could be raised
What outcomes are possible.
Finally, after you have stated what the law is, don’t forget to apply the law to the particular facts in the scenario
Ethical Issues
The Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights provides a sound framework for highlighting the principles that could be applied to the issue
The ethical decision making framework, discussed in the lecture (and tutorial) could be used to help address the conflict
Conclusion
In bringing it all together, provide a brief summary of the legal and ethical issues that you have identified.
You are not required to decide whether or not the legal action would be successful – this would be a role for the courts. Just as you will not be able to provide the ‘correct’ or ‘right’ answer to the ethical conflicts you have identified. In the conclusion you need to provide a brief summary of what you have said in the case study report.
