Welcome
The Ethox Centre is a multidisciplinary bioethics research centre that aims to improve ethical standards in healthcare practice and in medical research through education, research, and the provision of ethics support to health professionals, medical researchers and policy makers.
Arts, Health and Ethics Collective
Ethox is part of the Arts, Health and Ethics Collective (AHEC) which creates opportunities for researchers to collaborate with artists, and engages with ongoing public health discussions about the role of art in advancing health and wellbeing.

As a key part of this commitment, the Ethox Centre views the provision of ethics support and advice to health professionals, medical researchers, and policy makers as a priority.
