We are the only UK organisation with a bioethics horizon scanning (HS) and foresight programme.
We use this approach to identify and anticipate where future developments in biomedicine and health have the potential to impact society. These insights are used to define our programme of work, enabling us to successfully influence the policy agenda. In 2019 we began to publish the information for the use of our bioethics and policy community.
In 2023, we published a Horizon Scan that utilised data gathered through an external commission of desk-based research and internally gathered stakeholder insights.
We display our most recent five-years worth of HS data on our website. If you wish to see insights from the years before this, please contact us on futures@nuffieldbioethics.org
