Abstract

Student and faculty evaluations of this program are consistently positive. Faculty members from the two colleges continue to develop improved collegial relationships. Students work well in interdisciplinary teams and value the unique contribution of each profession to high-quality client care. This program is now an integral component of the first semester curricula for the two Colleges. Faculties from each College continue to develop skills in interdisciplinary education. Currently, a pilot program is underway that includes the Colleges of Nursing, Pharmacy, and Medicine with a focus on interdisciplinary education and aging. This pilot program developed as a result of the success of the interdisciplinary program between the Colleges of Nursing and Pharmacy.

In the wake of hospital inquiries: impact on staff and safety.

Mishandled concerns about clinical standards resulted in whistleblowing in four Australian hospitals. Official inquiries followed with recommendations to improve patient safety. In the aftermath of the inquiries, common themes included loss of trust in management and among clinical colleagues, and loss of trust from patients and the community. Without first rebuilding trust, staff will not report mistakes or other concerns about safety. Successful implementation of patient safety procedures requires policies to stress the professional duty of staff to report concerns about colleagues when they believe there is a risk to patients.

Retrieving the ars moriendi tradition.

North Atlantic culture lacks a commonly shared view on dying well that helps the dying, their social environment and caregivers to determine their place and role, interpret death and deal with the process of ethical deliberation. What is lacking nowadays, however, has been part of Western culture in medieval times and was known as the ars moriendi (art of dying well) tradition. In this paper an updated version of this tradition is presented that meets the demands of present day secularized and multiform society. Five themes are central to the new art of dying: autonomy and the self, pain control and medical intervention, attachment and relations, life balance and guilt, death and afterlife. The importance of retrieving the ancient ars moriendi outreaches the boundaries of palliative medicine, since it deals with issues that play a central role in every context of medical intervention and treatment.
