  Biography

 

 

I am a medical ethicist at St George's Medical School, University of London.

As well as teaching medical students, I am Director of Imperial College's Applied Clinical Ethics course, Associate Editor of the Postgraduate Medical Journal and BMC Medical Ethics, and International Editor of the Journal of Hospital Ethics.

My research interests include the doctor-patient relationship, truth-telling in medicine, surgical ethics, medical education, publication ethics, and the ethics of end-of-life care.

I am a columnist for the British Medical Journal ('Ethics Man', every six weeks) and a regular contributor to the BBC. 

I give talks on medical ethics both in the UK and abroad and publish in both academic and popular outlets (some of my articles are available online).  I also sit on various committees, including the Ministry of Defence's Research Ethics Committee, the St George's and Imperial NHS Trust Clinical Ethics Committees and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Hobbies include magic, chess, most sports, French literature, and playing the piano.

Please feel free to contact me about any of the above.
