HSMC has been awarded £820,000 by AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) for a project designed to explore the ethical dimension of good decision making in the context of medical leadership in order to improve patient care and experience. The work will be led by Dr Mervyn Conroy and involve collaboration with the University of Warwick, University Hospitals Birmingham and the University of Nottingham.

Virtually all citizens of the UK receive care from doctors in the NHS and have an interest in being treated with dignity and receiving good care, which is inextricably linked with phronesis (practical wisdom) and professional values (Good Medical Practice GMC 2013). The study will explore how doctors through their professional careers cultivate phronesis(practical wisdom) in the midst of navigating the complex world of healthcare in an era of markets and user choice.
