About

From AI in medicine to patient autonomy, drug trials, childbirth, and end of life care, health professionals navigate high-stake legal and ethical contexts. Join our experts to find out how philosophy informs practice and research in medicine.

The Philosophy Department at the University of Sussex invites you to join us at the Friends Meeting House in Brighton for a free workshop on philosophy and medicine, funded by The Royal Institute of Philosophy.

Join us to hear from and discuss this important topic with our speakers:
- David Papineau (Professor of Philosophy, Kings College London)
- Tanja Staehler (Professor of European Philosophy, University of Sussex)
- Arianne Shahvisi (Associate Professor in Medical Ethics and Humanities, University of Sussex)
- Robyn Waller (Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Sussex)
- Jessica Stockdale (Assistant Professor in Medical Education, University of Sussex)
