Healthcare ethics has evolved since the Hippocratic Oath was adopted, to become a complex multifaceted discipline known as bioethics. This article aims to explore the role played by healthcare ethics consultants in depth, analysing how their intervention is crucial to ensuring transparency, integrity, and trust in health institutions. These consultants have proved very helpful in high-pressure healthcare areas such as emergency services and intensive care medicine, where rapid responses are often essential. The growing complexity of healthcare, driven by technological advances and economic pressure, makes the role of ethics consultants more critical than ever.
