Prognostic uncertainty, stakeholder conflicts, and myriad other ethical challenges can contribute to situations that may benefit from ethics support. Through the presentation of 3 vignettes focusing on ethical dilemmas arising from hematology cases, we review the 4 phases of clinical ethics consultation: consult triage; ethics consult intake; stakeholder meeting(s) and additional data collection; and ethics analysis and recommendations. In tandem, we review some of the most common ethical framework\/approaches used to inform hematology ethics consultation support services. We conclude that ethics consult services can be a valuable resource in providing care for patients with blood disorders and are a vital resource to enhance patient care, support clinicians, and ensure that difficult choices are navigated with clarity, compassion, and integrity.<\/jats:p>\n
