Roundtables<\/span><\/h3>\n

As part of the Network, four roundtables will be held between March 2018 and March 2020, exploring the ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘how’ and the ‘when and where’ of accommodating claims of conscience in healthcare practice. Within our\u00a0roundtable format, key contributors will present arguments, thoughts, case studies etc, for discussion and deliberation. Our aim is to maximise discussion and engagement around the table, and to promote meaningful exchange to advance understanding of the questions under discussion.<\/p>\n
