Values in End of Life Care: Caring for Muslim patients
On June 29th 2017 the Centre of Islamic Studies hosted an interdisciplinary meeting of healthcare practitioners, academics, spiritual leaders and policy makers. The seminar brought together UK wide experts in biomedical ethics, theology and law to discuss themes on “values in end of life care”. The speakers included Right Reverend Dr Christopher Herbert, Imam Yunus Dudhwalla, Dr Razeen Mahroof and Dr Mehrunisha Suleman. The speakers and discussants reviewed themes including hope, acceptance, futility, suffering and dignity. The seminar focused on Islamic understandings of life being sacred and how such beliefs are negotiated with the increasing mechanicalisation of medicine at the end of life.
