Session: Ethics and dilemmas: a chance to explore together
This interactive workshop explores the important subject of how we manage our programmes. APM’s values include integrity, respect and empathy. But what does applying these mean for our programmes in practice? APM’s code for professional conduct is a good start, but what about dilemmas when there is no right or wrong answer, or where there might be conflicts of interest?
Come along to this session to learn a bit about ethics together, and to chew over some ethical dilemmas, past and present, with supportive colleagues. (Bring your own if you dare!)
