Passcode: 6yVTGf
How have women made a difference to surgical ethics, as patients, and as surgeons? Can we judge the history of surgery ethically? If so, whose ethics?
What further concerns ought there to be for current ethicists regarding surgery?
Join Dr Wendy Suffield (Henry Lumley Collections Engagement Grant researcher at Royal College of Surgeons 2023-24) and Dr Claire L. Jones (Senior Lecturer in the History of Medicine, School of Classics, English and History at Kent) for an interactive workshop on women and surgical ethics, past and present.
Film, objects and texts will provoke group discussion on the following themes:
- What is surgical ethics?
- Surgeons’ power and the patient experience
- Women surgeons: hard-edged or hard done to?
All welcome!
