----------
Clinical ethics is mainly applied ethics. It deals with moral problems, rising at the bedside and in a real-life ethical practice. The bioethical consultant should possess two main competences: one competence is specific, and we may define it "expertise"; the other one is more broad in scope and it shows an intrinsic relational nature, and we will refer to it as "counselling". Bioethical Consultation in the NHS (National Health System) should take care by counselling the individual persons involved about their moral dilemmas, their existential malaise, and their questions over the sense of life. Bioethical consultation should help patients to conceptualize their suffering. The bioethical consultant, as a consequence, could offer technical (meaning ethical), value-based, and relational support, in order to allow people to take decisions in life, that is, being more conscious of the sense that these decisions will take in their life as a whole. Philosophical-ethical counselling could provide a radical cultural change in the way medical care is conceptualized in health systems, in so far as persons are the centre of the engagement of the NHS.
