Ethics of the ordinary
Tuesday 15 February 2011
Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole St, W1G 0AE
Call for Posters (See below)
Much recent ethical discussion has focussed on the more dramatic issues of life and death, perhaps involving new technologies, and yet only occasionally affecting the average person. Clinicians in Primary Healthcare see the complexity of the day to day life of patients and of the everyday medical decisions that are made in collaboration with them. We may well reflect that many of these everyday situations and decisions have many moral and ethical implications also.
Aims and objectives
This meeting seeks to explore the ethical choices that are made every day in commonplace consultations.
The objectives are to:
• define what ethical issues arise in everyday consultations
• seek to make explicit some of our implicit assumptions, choices and values
• find new ways to talk about the “ethics of the ordinary”
• debate how we may best respond to these challenges
Call for POSTERS: Submission deadline: Tuesday 30 November, 6.00 pm
As part of our workshop on “The Ethics of the Ordinary” there will be a session at which
participants can present their work and ideas in the form of a poster. Posters may deal with any
issues within the field of primary care ethics. They may focus on clinical practice, on teaching
and personal development, or on research (empirical or philosophical) within this field. Posters
on undramatic issues of values and moral choices common in primary care but which normally
receive little attention in the medical ethics literature are particularly welcome. Posters on
other aspects of the philosophy of medicine relevant to primary care such as epistemology and
ontology are also welcome.
Abstracts should be no more than 300 words, outlining the nature and purpose of poster
presentations. Abstracts should include the title of the poster, the names of presenting and
other authors, and their professional role and affiliation. They do not have to follow the traditional
format of introduction, method, results, conclusions, however they should be clearly structured
and make clear the issue or issues considered, the approach to be taken and the conclusions
drawn from its study.
Posters should be no bigger than A1 in size. It is encouraged that posters are professionally
printed and in colour where appropriate. Those presenting posters must be available on Tuesday
15 February 2011 and asked to ensure that their posters are in place by 2.15 pm. Presenters are
asked to be near their poster to be able discuss their poster with participants for at least half of
this period.
Funding applied for. The meeting has offical endorsement from The Royal College of General Practitioners
