A research report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the
Witwatersrand, in partial fulfillment of the degree of Master of Science in Medicine in Bioethics and Health Law.
Johannesburg, January 2012 / Society expects that all on duty emergency department personnel
will be competent in life saving medical procedures so as to adequately and
appropriately resuscitate and stabilise the acutely ill or injured who may present
for treatment. For competence to exist, the relevant medical skills have to be
initially acquired and thereafter maintained, which necessitates sufficient training.
This research report set out to gauge the opinions of various undergraduate and
postgraduate groups within the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of the
Witwatersrand regarding the use of the newly deceased for life saving skills
competency training, with or without surviving family permission. It also sought to
ascertain whether use of the newly deceased was being practiced, and if so, with
or without family permission.
