Medical science has brought dramatic improvements in our understanding of illness and the provision of powerful treatments. Yet both anecdote and formal research point to the need to look beyond our current scientific model to meet the deepest needs of individuals, and society, in promoting and restoring health.
The PRIME 10th Anniversary Symposium, held in an outstanding centre of scientific discourse, will explore current thinking about the intensely practical interaction between science, faith and society that shapes the health care we give and receive.
- Why are Science and Faith viewed as opposing forces?
- How does this affect concepts and practice in healthcare?
- How do values in healthcare affect our society?
- How do the ethics of society affect healthcare?
- Can medical science be morally neutral?
- How can we bring back harmony between Science and Faith into healthcare
- practice and research?
Join us for a lively series of interactive presentations that will examine these fundamental questions and stimulate change for the better in our healthcare practice and education.

Baroness Caroline Cox, Deputy Speaker House of Lords & Patron of PRIME
Prof Keith Fox, Professor of Biochemistry, University of Southampton, & Chairman of
