National events

There are various events, in the UK and internationally, which address clinical ethics, including events that are supported by UKCEN. This page includes links to national events that are likely to be relevant to people working (or interested) in clinical ethics. (Please also see our Courses pages, as these provide further relevant links.)

Please help us to build these pages. UKCEN would be pleased to publicise events relevant to clinical ethics. If you would like to advertise your event here, please email us.
