Following last year's successful UK Primary Care Ethics Conference on "The Ethics of the Ordinary", I delighted to announce an all day conference and call for posters:
“One for all and all for one: Primary care ethics – solidarity or personal choice?”
Venue: The Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole St, London, W1
Date: 1st February 2012
**Numbers limited: max 80 delegates**
Full information and booking link: http://www.rsm.ac.uk/academ/gpc02.php
This whole-day conference will have as its main theme the increasingly explicit conflict which generalists face between the individual and wider perspectives. Questions of confidentiality, of anticipatory care and screening and prescribing, referral and commissioning are all aspects of this conflict between the one and the many. We are also continuing with our main aim: to foster a body of knowledge and a community of scholars; and to provide support and mentoring for students, junior clincians and junior academics who find interest in the field of primary care ethics. The organising committee represent a network linking academia, education and practice. This year will also see presentation of short empirical papers from Ethox, KCL and East Anglia, as well as a workshop on the process of conducting empirical research in primary care ethics.

Delegate fees may be reduced pending funding (applied for)
***Call for abstracts***
As part of the conference, "One for all and all for one: Primary care ethics - solidarity or personal choice", 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 focussing on the main theme of the day, solidarity or personal choice in primary care ethics, 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, but they should however be clearly structured and make clear the issue or issues which will considered, the approach to be taken, and the conclusions drawn from its study. Abstracts will be reviewed by the organising committee. Abstracts accepted for posters will be notified by email on December 13th 2011.
Posters should be A1 in size. Posters must printed (and in colour where appropriate). Those presenting posters must be available on the 1st February 2012 and asked to ensure that their posters are in place before 12.30 pm. Presenters are asked to be near their poster to be able discuss their poster with participants for at least half of the lunchtime period.
The deadline for submissions is 6 pm on 30th November 2011. For an abstract submission form, please contact [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
