Book a Bioethicist
Would you like one of our bioethicists to speak at your event?
Do you have a personal query about bioethics, e.g. relating to your work as a healthcare professional or to your own medical decisions?
Contact us today at education@bioethics.org.uk
Staff at the Anscombe Bioethics Centre have spoken to healthcare professionals, RE teachers and pupils, university students, clergy, seminarians and many other groups. We have co-organised Sixth Form conferences with schools such as Westminster School and Worth School, and spoken at educational events in Derry, Sligo, Kent, and Slough, to name a few. The Centre has also run highly successful introductory series on bioethics for medical students with the Newman House Chaplaincy in London and the KCL Guy’s Campus Chaplaincy. We would be delighted to discuss your guest-speaker event with you.
Our bioethicists also regularly receive enquiries from members of the public and will endeavour to reply to you as soon as possible. Guided by Catholic teaching and the latest research in the field, we are happy to provide ethical pointers for dealing with real-life bioethical challenges, but please note that correspondence with us does not constitute medical advice.
Sincerest Thanks for Your Support
Staff are grateful to all those who sustained the Centre in the past by their prayers and the generous financial support from trusts, organisations, communities and especially from individual donors, including the core funding that came through the Day for Life fund and so from the generosity of many thousands of parishioners. We would finally like to acknowledge the support the Centre has received from the Catholic community in Ireland, especially during the pandemic when second collections were not possible.
We would like to emphasise that, though the Centre is now closed, these donations have not been wasted but have helped educate and support generations of conscientious healthcare professionals, clerics, and lay people over almost 50 years. This support has also helped prevent repeated attempts to legalise euthanasia or assisted suicide in Britain and Ireland from 1993 till the end of the Centre’s work on 31 July 2025.
