Research
We encourage inter-disciplinary research.
Mission Statement:
"Rapid technological advances promise big improvements in medical care. The world needs leadership in understanding and responding to the ethical and societal impact of these radical changes. CELS brings together interdisciplinary expertise to meet this need by addressing the ethical, legal and societal issues through research, education, policy engagement and public dialogue".
We encourage inter-disciplinary research.
CELS are very pleased to announce that Dr Helena Carley has recently joined the team here at Southampton! Helena has an interest in fostering situated ethical decision-making in clinical practice, with a particular relevance to Clinical Genetics and Genomics. She is particularly interested in understanding how ethical issues in genetics arising in mainstream (non-genetic) specialties are managed. She is also interested in ethical issues surrounding the application of emerging genomic frameworks and technologies.

We are exploring how we can facilitate better use of hospital data to improve standards of care within the NHS. It is really important that this system is trustworthy and can promote and protect the interests of individuals, groups and communities. To develop this system democratically, we need lots of people to tell us about their concerns, experiences and hopes for the future. Please take a look at this short animation which looks at this issue.
