Faith, Ethics, and the ICU: A Conversation with Imam Yunus Dudhwala

In this reflective and insightful first episode, our host Jonny Wilkinson sits down with Imam Yunus Dudhwala, Head of Chaplaincy at Barts Health NHS Trust, to explore the complex intersection of religion, ethics, and end-of-life care in the intensive care unit.

Recorded following the Intensive Care Society's symposium, “Legal and Ethical Issues: What Has Faith Got to Do With It? How religion and spirituality affect end-of-life care in ICU”, the conversation considers how spiritual beliefs influence clinical decisions, patient autonomy, and definitions of quality of life, particularly when life-sustaining treatment may be limited or withdrawn.

Drawing from his extensive experience supporting patients, families, and clinicians in the ICU setting, Imam Yunus offers insights into how Islamic perspectives and broader religious values shape ethical considerations, the care of the dying, and culturally sensitive communication.

The symposium was hosted by the Intensive Care Society’s Legal and Ethical Group ‘LEAG’.
