The 32nd Annual Ilkley Colloquium on Health Care Ethics

Each January the Centre runs an informal colloquium on Biomedical and Health Care Ethics. All health care students, alumni, philosophers and professionals are welcome.

Led by Professor Chris Megone, this year’s colloquium welcomes new speakers and topics, including IDEA Centre staff, current students and PGRs, alumni and external academics. Our speakers will be presenting and leading discussions on such ethical research as implicit bias and autonomy in healthcare.

The colloquium takes place at the Craiglands Hotel in Ilkley which is five minutes’ walk from Ilkley railway station. For details on accommodation, please contact the hotel directly – their contact details can be found on the hotel website.
