While the programme is designed to be accessible to healthcare professionals in full-time work, it is open to anyone who is suitably qualified and who can demonstrate sufficient academic aptitude.

Job Opportunity Potential

'While the field of veterinary medical ethics small, it is growing and undertaking this MA equipped me with the skills and confidence to really participate in this growth.' - Karen Hiestand - Vet

'For my job, having a Medical Ethics and Law qualification has definitely helped. It has given me more confidence in chairing our hospital ethics committee and I suppose gives me a certain amount of standing when asked to look at ethical issues we face.' - Steve Brosnan- Consultant Anaesthetist.

'My MA in medical ethics and law impacted on my career in three key ways. Firstly, it changed my own clinical practice, giving me a much stronger base from which to argue for person centred care in a system where quantity (not quality) of life, generic targets and acquisition cost (as opposed to cost effectiveness) are the primary drivers. Secondly, it influenced the way I teach, so that I now include a stronger ethical and legal message and I am regularly invited to present on ethics and law at conferences. Thirdly, I am using my improved understanding of medical law in my role as an Expert Witness for a clinical negligence firm. This role was an extra one that I took on after completing my MA.' - Beverley Bostock - Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
