Funded Activity Summary

Interdisciplinary Network for Research into the Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects of Health (ELSAH). Australia lacks a national academic forum to consider issues involving biotechnology, health resource allocation, (bio)ethics and citizenship. This project will - establish an interdisciplinary network for research into the social, legal and ethical dimensions of healthcare, biotechnology and medical science; - co-ordinate this expertise in the national interest; - assist policy makers, researchers, technology developers and communities to make informed decisions, and - make health systems more equitable and socially acceptable. This in turn will build trust, foster informed debate, increase community input into health policy, and help us understand complex social systems and examine the values embedded in them.
