SUMMARY:Creative Writing for Medical Ethics 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Philosophy Fellows present: Creative Writing for Medical Ethics – 1 day short course \nCalling all writers and curious minds. \nDive into the captivating intersection of medical ethics and creative writing with our interactive one-day course\, now in its eighth year… \nLed by Helen Mosby (Open University) and Philosophy Fellows’ Convenor\, Andrew Papanikitas\, this masterclass will bring ethical quandaries to life\, sharpen your literary skills and deepen your understanding of medical ethics through a wealth of diverse perspectives. \nJoin us at Apothecaries’ Hall or online via Zoom. \nThis event is free to attend for History and Philosophy Fellows and those on the teaching faculty\, simply contact the Academic Team via email to reserve a space. \nA Limited number of paid places are available to Faculty Members and Non-Members\nNon-members: £75\nFaculty Members (non-fellows) / Current diploma students/ Student non-members: £40 \nParticipants’ own work will form the basis of this session\, so please send us something in advance if you would like your writing to feature in it. We welcome pieces in any form – for example\, fiction\, stage or radio drama\, magazine writing or even sketch comedy – which involve some question of medical ethics. This can be a dilemma you’ve faced personally or second-hand\, for example through the media. Radio 4’s Inside the Ethics Committee is a rich source of material if you would like to take inspiration from there. \nWriters on this course have gone onto publish poems\, short stories\, and memoirs\, but whether you’re aiming for publication or are completely new to writing we are equally interested in what you have to say. Your piece can be a work-in-progress or a final draft; either way\, it will provide opportunities for discussion both of literary technique and of the ethical issues you’ve explored.

SUMMARY:The Secrets of Georgian Dining
DESCRIPTION:Historian Peter Ross was a big hit at a Stationers’ literary lunch earlier in the year when he talked about his book Insatiable Appetites. Now he’s going to take us on an in-depth dive into how hungry citizens from all walks of life navigated the city’s diverse food scene. \nYou’ll hear how the warming drink saloop was once an early morning staple\, especially for poorer people. How passers-by queued up for the street vendors who offered hot potatoes\, suet puddings and gingerbread. And how as darkness fell\, ladies of the night and their clients indulged themselves at always-open jelly shops. \nPeter\, a former Chief Librarian at London’s Guildhall Library\, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries\, will also explore the culinary influence of the empire\, with London’s first Indian takeaway appearing in 1773\, and fried fish arriving with Jewish immigrants in the East End. \nThis talk will fascinate anyone with an interest in London’s streets\, the city’s colourful history\, and the foods that sustained our ancestors\, many leading to the culinary landscape of today. \nSigned copies of Peter’s book Insatiable Appetites will be available to buy on the night. \nDrinks and nibbles (21st century only!) at 6.30pm.\nLecture starts at 7.00pm.\nDrinks and networking at 8.00pm.\nEvening ends at 8.30pm. \nAll profits go to the Stationers’ Hall charity.

SUMMARY:John Locke Lecture and the Sydenham Lecture
DESCRIPTION:John Locke Lecture: Hate in Healthcare: from Freud to the Frontline – Prof Graham Easton and the Sydenham Lecture: Why are doctors so miserable? – by Prof Clare Gerada \nSociety Members: Lecture & Drinks £20 / Lecture & Supper £60\nNon-Members: Lecture & Drinks £25 / Lecture & Supper £65 \nPresenting Hate in Healthcare: from Freud to the Frontline (John Locke lecture)\nTo be given by Prof Graham Easton \nOnline abuse\, verbal and physical assaults\, protective screens\, and zero tolerance posters all point to a growing tension between healthcare professionals and patients. In this lecture\, Professor Easton explores how anger\, resentment\, even hate\, can arise in an increasingly pressured NHS\, and how these dynamics shape frontline care. Drawing on key insights into “difficult” clinical encounters\, from Freud’s account of the origins of hate to contemporary studies of hostility in healthcare\, he asks how we might protect the compassion at the heart of practice. Could a clearer ethical frame\, in the spirit of John Locke\, help doctors and patients recognise the humanity in each other and rescue a relationship under strain? \nProf Graham Easton is Honorary Professor of Clinical Communication Skills at Queen Mary University of London\, a GP of 30 years’ experience\, and a National Teaching Fellow with Advance HE. His career spans clinical practice\, medical education\, and BBC journalism\, with a particular interest in training doctors in empathic communication\, including how to manage “difficult” and aggressive consultations. \n———– \nPresenting Why are doctors so miserable? (Sydenham Lecture)\nTo be given by Prof Clare Gerada \nProf Clare Gerada trained initially in psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital before becoming a GP in South London\, where she has practised for decades.\nLeadership roles:\n• Former Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) (2010–2013).\n• President of the RCGP (2021–2023).\n• Founder and Medical Director of NHS Practitioner Health\, the confidential service for doctors and dentists with mental health or addiction problems. \nAdvocacy: A leading voice on doctors’ wellbeing\, burnout\, and professional identity. Clare has been instrumental in destigmatising mental illness among healthcare professionals. \nPublic service: Appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 2020 for services to mental health and the NHS. \nPeerage: Clare became a Life Peer in the House of Lords in 2025 as Baroness Gerada \nPublic speaking and writing: Clare frequently speaks and writes on topics such as compassion in medicine\, the emotional labour of doctors\, and the cultural meaning of the NHS.
