17th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Bioethics Society
October 20-23 2005 (N.B. meeting ends SUNDAY NOON)
Lord Nelson Hotel, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Opening Keynote Speaker: The Right Honourable Roy Romanow

Whether we like it or not, economic considerations permeate health care
decision-making in government, at the bedside, in the boardroom, in the
community and in the home. The time is ripe for the bioethics
community to critically examine the influence of the pocketbook on the
world of healthcare.
Program planning for CBS 2005 is underway. Themes include:

ˇThe influence of money at the bedside, in the home, in the community
(including social justice, the disenfranchisement of identifiable
groups)
ˇIts influence on the practice of health professions (for example,
patient safety/medical error)
ˇInstitutional monetary concerns (including implementation of
cutbacks and other issues that go beyond individual clinical
encounters)
ˇFinancial pressures on the healthcare system (for example, waiting
lists, pharmacare, the concept of medical necessity, and the
sustainability of government-funded health care systems)
ˇMoney and health research (including both institutional and
individual conflicts of interest and conflicts of obligations)
ˇMoney and the health needs of developing countries
ˇMoney and the discipline of bioethics

Halifax, 2005 promises to be an engaging and provocative meeting, with
much to share and much to learn. And don't forget to bring your
dancing shoes for the Ceilidh on Saturday night at Murphy's On the
Water!
