Health Law and Bioethics at the Frontiers of Innovation Postgraduate Bioethics Conference. (360G-Wellcome-105459_Z_14_Z)

The Postgraduate Bioethics Conference (PGBC) is an annual conference aimed at doctoral researchers in applied ethics broadly conceived. Over the past seven years, often with the support of the Wellcome Trust, PGBC has become established as the leading environment for doctoral candidates whose work involves bioethics to network and present their work. The theme of PGBC 2014 is Health Law and Bioethics at the Frontiers of Innovation and it will take place on 4-5 September at the University of So uthampton. There will be keynote speeches by Professor John Bryant, Professor Bobbie Farsides, Professor John Harris and Professor Jonathan Montgomery. With a focus on training and career development, we will also run two workshops. Bioethics in Practice will be led and organised by Professor Montgomery. Publishing in Bioethics , will involve a panel of editors from leading bioethics journals. Confirmed speakers are Professor Ruth Chadwick (Bioethics), Dr John Coggon (Health Care Analysis), P rofessor David Hughes (Sociology of Health and Illness) and Dr Sara Fovargue (Medical Law Review). We expect over 50 participants, of whom 24 will present a paper. The participants are likely to be mostly UK and Ireland-based doctoral researchers.
