We aim to:
Embed ethics at the centre of decisions about biomedicine and health, so we all benefit. To achieve this, we work to inform policy and public debate through identifying, analysing and advising on ethical issues raised by developments in these areas.
Our values are:
Rigour: Our approach to ethical analysis is multidisciplinary and deliberative. We draw on a wide range of expertise and experience and use the best available evidence.
Transparency: We are open about how we conduct our work, and our outputs are accessible and relevant to our audiences. Independence: We set our own agenda and select our own topics, methodologies and outputs. We do not represent any particular group or view.
Inclusiveness: We engage with a wide range of voices and views and are committed to increasing the diversity of the people we work with. We create safe and welcoming spaces for deliberation.
Relevance: We explore things that matter to society so we can support real-time policy developments and debates as well as anticipate those coming down the line.
Sustainability: We manage our organisation with a focus on contributing to environmental sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.
