School Lecture 3: Ethical Dilemmas in Medicine

You can book to attend this event in person, watch it via livestream or get a link to watch it on catchup

You are invited to sit alongside some of Scotland’s best medical professionals as we discuss the role of ethics in medicine. Professor Angela Thomas will act as chair, and will be joined by four exceptional physicians (including Professor Kenneth Boyd, Professor of Medical Ethics at the University of Edinburgh).

This is not a usual lecture. You are encouraged (but not required) to come to the event with a question that you can ask our panel and they will answer it from their perspective as a medical professional. Or, of course, you are welcome to come and listen to the lecture just as an observer. This panel discussion will explore some of the challenging moral and ethical decisions taken by doctors today.

S4, S5, and S6 students are particularly encouraged to attend with members of their support system including parents, teachers, and friends.
