Markets, Healthcare and Professionalism

ke compassioni nhealthcare

This afternoon seminar will explore the following questions.

How are market processes, financial incentives and an industrial model of healthcare influencing, for good and ill, professional values and ethos? What is the role of government in this situation and what ought it to be? How might doctors, commissioners, managers and healthcare workers in general respond and contribute wisely to the environment shaping their professional identity? How might humanities disciplines help to articulate the questions at stake in this context?
