Values-based medicine: new tools and new applications. (360G-Wellcome-081447_Z_06_Z)
Values-Based Medicine: New Tools and New Applications The background to the conference is: The expanding scope and complexity of issues involving values in all areas of medicine and healthcare, and Widespread recognition of the importance of ethics/law in tacking such issues, but A relative failure to recognise the range of potential new 'tools' for working with values in medicine that are available from a variety of other disciplines. The rationale for the conference is: WMS, as a new Medical School, will be working with partners (national and international) to build a fully values-based as well as evidence-based curriculum (undergraduate through to CPD) over a five year period with rigorous testing of educational impact. This conference will bring together invited delegates (maximum 30) from three key constituencies - researchers/experts, patients/professionals and managers/policy makers - to explore examples of available methods for working with complex values (the tools) and of their potential applications in different fields of medicine. Through a number of specific outputs, the conference will thus help to establish a basis for research and educational initiatives in values-based medicine. Topics to be covered will include the potential contributions to values-based medicine of decision theory, health economics, management/leadership, medical history, literature (including patient/carer narratives), law and clinical ethics, and philosophical value theory.
