Public health: ethical issues
External consultation
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics would like to hear about your views on a number of questions raised by the ethical issues surrounding public health.
Public health has been described as ‘the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through organised efforts of society’. Over the centuries, public health has been significantly improved by measures such as vaccination programmes. However, public health interventions also raise a number of complex ethical issues. The Nuffield Council established a Working Party in January 2006 to consider the ethical dilemmas related by public health, such as the difficulties in balancing individual choice and community benefit.
The period of consultation will last for four months. All comments received will be considered by the Working Party. The Council plans to publish its report in autumn 2007.
Deadline for responses: 15th September 2006
