Illkley Colloquium on Health Care Ethics

The 26th Annual Ilkley Health Care Ethics Colloquium will be held on Saturday 20th January 2018.

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

The colloquium takes place at the Craiglands Hotel in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

Led by Dr Joe Saunders, this year’s colloquium welcomes all new presenters. We will be welcoming some of our newly-appointed IDEA Centre staff, University of Leeds health care experts and external speakers, who will be presenting their research and leading workshops.
