We are proud to present our March 2018 Issue, the first issue of this year’s Volume 10, and a thematic issue on Clinical Ethics Consultation.
This special issue celebrates the 13th International Conference on Clinical Ethics Consultation (ICCEC), which took place from 25 to 27 May 2017 in Singapore. The conference theme, Clinical Ethics and Change in Healthcare, asked presenters to contextualize clinical ethics support needs and meet challenges brought on by the evolving and changing healthcare landscape, including demographic shifts, biomedical advancements, system reforms, patient engagement, and an increased global interconnectivity. The conference sub-themes offered a chance for presenters to sharpen their focus on Clinical Ethics Support for Changing Health Care Practices and Contexts, Changing Attitudes to End-of-Life Care, Using Innovative Treatments and Modes of Health Service Delivery, and Globalization, Migration, and Cross-border Health Care. More than 310 leading clinicians, academics, policy-makers, and students from 38 countries answered the call to come to Singapore to exchange their work and deliberate and develop new global understandings. The papers in this issue are based on the presentations or are thematically aligned with ICCEC 2017.
