Stockholm Centre for Healthcare Ethics

Ulrik Kihlbom has been appointed professor in Medical Clinical Ethics at CHE at Karolinska Institutet. Ulrik will shortly begin his duties and will be teaching and doing research at CHE.

- The medical-ethical research approach that combines empirical and philosophical ethics I believe is a fruitful approach in medical clinical ethics. I also hope to continue with developing teaching in medical ethics at KI. There is an active and wide range of work with developing medical pedagogy at KI that I want to contribute to, says Ulrik Kihlbom.

And continues:

- I look forward to coming to CHE and KI, which offers an exciting environment and many new possible collaborators, both in research and in teaching.

Now you can find useful information and links to medical ethics topics as well as reading suggestions and information about education in ethics at KI:s website. It is the Ethics unit at KI who has put together this site for ethics-related topics. -Now that the information about medical ethics has been assembled on one website, it is much easier to find, says Gert Helgesson, Head of the Ethics unit at KI.

Last winter Niklas Juth was appointed professor in Clinical Ethics at Uppsala University and he has since begun his duties, but will remain associated to KI.

As associated to KI, Niklas Juth will continue his supervision of doctoral students with focus on issues on coercion in health care and limits for patient autonomy. Beginning this autumn KI and the Centre for Research Ethics & Bioethics (CRB) at Uppsala University will conduct joint research seminars.

- Our ambition is to strengthen the collaboration between the Centre for Health Care Ethics at KI, KTH and SU and CRB both in research and education, says Niklas Juth.
