EthicsOnCall.com is a private Bioethics Consultation Service for clinicians, patients, surrogates and families, that helps  facilitate discussion about a range of ethical issues that arise in caring for patients or contemplating choices of care. The service is available to anyone with an ethical question or concern, and needs independent facilitation, advice and advocacy. Consultations can be performed by phone or in person, by an individual consultant, or a small consult team comprised of members of various clinical disciplines. Since patients are frequently offered the opportunity to participate in clinical trials, consultation is also available on research ethics questions  for individuals enrolled in  research, or who have been asked to participate.
