Religious ethics; Medical ethics & professional conduct

Ethics in Healthcare is a comprehensive and philosophically rigorous introduction to the ethical dimensions of contemporary healthcare practice. Grounded in the four core principles of biomedical ethics - autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice - the book guides readers through the major ethical theories, moral norms, and character virtues that shape clinical decision-making across nursing, medicine, and allied health.

Drawing on integrated case studies from across the healthcare professions, the text makes abstract ethical principles immediately applicable to the real situations practitioners face. Rather than treating ethics as a set of abstract rules to be memorized, Ethics in Healthcare invites readers into a deeper engagement with the moral dimensions of caring for others - equipping them with the conceptual tools and practical wisdom needed to navigate complex clinical realities with integrity and confidence.

The book addresses the defining moral challenges of twenty-first century healthcare, including dedicated chapters on moral trauma and moral injury - an increasingly urgent concern for frontline healthcare workers - and on the ethics of artificial intelligence in clinical settings. These chapters place Ethics in Healthcare at the forefront of contemporary bioethical discourse, preparing students and practitioners for the ethical terrain of modern medicine.

Enriched throughout by engagement with Jewish, Christian, and Islamic bioethical traditions, the text brings the resources of religious moral thought into dialogue with secular bioethical frameworks, offering readers a richer and more culturally informed perspective on the moral dimensions of healthcare. This integrative approach makes the book especially valuable in diverse academic and clinical environments.

Ethics in Healthcare is suitable for use in undergraduate and graduate courses in nursing, medicine, allied health, bioethics, religious studies, and the philosophy of medicine. It serves equally well as a professional reference for practicing clinicians, ethicists, chaplains, and healthcare administrators who take seriously the moral weight of caring for others.
