2. Oxford Society for Medicine presents PROFESSOR RAANAN GILLON, Emeritus Professor of Medical Ethics, Imperial College

“Half a Century of Medical Ethics – A GP Philosopher Looks Back”

All welcome! FREE entry, refreshments and snacks for all!
Friday 4th June, 6.30pm – 8.00pm
St Catherine’s College, JCR Theatre

We are honoured to bring you Professor Raanan Gillon, a hybrid medical doctor and philosopher, Emeritus Professor of Medical Ethics at Imperial College London, Chairman of the Institute of Medical Ethics and a member of the British Medical Association’s Medical Ethics Committee. Professor Gillon was also Editor of the Journal of Medical Ethics for twenty years, until 2001 and he retired from part-time general practice in the NHS in 2002.

Professor Gillon has published extensively on medical ethics and was senior editor of and contributor to a prize-winning textbook, Principles of Health Care Ethics. He is an enthusiastic proponent of ‘the four principles approach’ to medical ethics but acknowledges that there is much disagreement about the proper content of one of those principles, the principle of justice, and how it should influence the distribution of scarce resources in the National Health Service.

On this occasion, Professor Gillon will be discussing the development of medical ethics in the UK over the past fifty years, since he began medical school in 1959 along with an account of his career as a hybrid medical doctor and philosopher.

This event promises to be a fascinating and broad insight for all with an interest in any aspect of medical ethics.

Any queries, please email: Anisha.bhagwanani@medschool.ox.ac.uk
We look forward to seeing you there!
