Summary of the impact

Stephen Wilkinson's research on medical ethics and law (including joint work with Sally Sheldon) has:

(1) Influenced policy formation processes (e.g. through being submitted in evidence to parliamentary committees and enquires, and via bodies such as the Nuffield Council on Bioethics).

(2) Challenged conventional wisdom, stimulating debate among stakeholders, and enabled improved public understanding. Mechanisms for this include participation in popular media outlets and in public and stakeholder engagement events.
