Brief Description of Work: This project will explore through detailed interviews the ethical challenges that faced UK Military Medical personnel (including nurses, doctors and allied health professionals) who were deployed to the recent Ebola epidemic. It will also develop and evaluate training materials based on clinical case studies that are typified by a conflict of ethical values. The aim of these materials is to help both military and civilian humanitarian healthcare workers anticipate and meet ethical challenges more effectively in the future. Our research is funded by the ESRC (Ref ES/M011763/1), under its Urgency Grants Mechanism pilot, and the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine.
