Description: Outline of the idea: Clinical ethics has become quite professionalized in recent years. And, there are guidelines in many countries on what clinical ethicists should do and how. Still, there is always one question that remains somewhat unaddressed: the question of the exact expertise of the clinical ethicist. What must he or she be able to do? What knowledge, methods and attitude must he or she exactly possess? This thorny question deserves more academic attention. That is why we turn to it in this webinar. We approach this question by turning to the question of rather extreme cases: do we need to do things differently in a post-communitarian country (Aluas) or how can the expertise of the clinical ethicist assert itself politically (Bouthillier)? Then we ask about the relationship between ethics and quality (Haltaufderheide) and what exactly a “good” expertise in clinical ethics could be (Forde).
