Today I cried in court. I was watching 3 lovely, articulate, passionate young women (the older 2 just out of their teens) come to terms with the fact that their Dad was going to die. Doctors believed that continuing life-sustaining treatment was not in his best interests.

Covid 19 health and policy decisions- Following the science... Science provides evidence, but values determines how we use that evidence. Should more of the decisions that were made involve greater philosophical/ethical grounding?

@TheGoodLawProject alongside Debbie Abrahams Caroline Lucas and Layla Moran 🔶🕊️ held the government to account in High Court last week:

What would you say is the biggest lesson that you have learnt from the Covid-19 pandemic? #Doctors #NHS #Covid_19 #COVID

Leah and Lucy are talking about organising a medical school volunteering scheme initially at a local level

Lucy highlights problems where they had unconscious biases- eg allocation female students for child care roles. Leah highlights difficulty in making decisions due to minimal information- eg how competent were the students in terms of clinical work?

Hope everyone is enjoying the conference so far, and looking forward for the rest of the day! Thank you once again to our speakers so far - Dr Paquita de Zulueta @PdeZ_doc and Leah Lam and Lucy Pindar from Sheffield MedSoc Sheffield Medical Ethics & Humanities Society
