  • Evolution or erosion? Promissory discourses in ‘accelerated’ regulatory approval of health technologies

    Open AccessSara Attinger, Ian Kerridge et al.ARTICLEBioSocieties2026

    In recent years, regulatory processes governing the approval of new health technologies have undergone changes aimed at expediting access. Some of these changes involve the adaptation of established standards of evidence for safety and efficacy, which we refer to as evidence-adapted regulatory pathways (EARPs). While EARPs have provided more timely access to potentially beneficial interventions, critics argue that reducing evidentiary thresholds …

  • Paediatric Nurses’ Decision-Making About CPR in Challenging Clinical Scenarios: Insights From a Cross-Sectional Survey

    Open AccessSuzanne Bowdler, Judeil K Teus et al.ARTICLEJournal of Bioethical Inquiry2026

    This study explored paediatric nurses’ decision-making regarding resuscitation in patients with unequivocal signs of death and no Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between October 2023 and April 2024 across the paediatric wards of four Australian hospitals. Participants were asked to respond to two hypothetical clinical scenarios involving a three-year-old boy and a twelve-year-old girl, both clearly deceased—…

  • Stakeholder perspectives regarding single participant research in oncology

    Open AccessSarah Heynemann, Wendy Lipworth et al.ARTICLEResearch Ethics2026

    The term ‘N-of-1 trial’ has traditionally referred to a specific, well-defined, clinical trial methodology, involving evaluation of an intervention (or interventions) in a single individual, with alternating periods ‘on’ and ‘off’ an intervention. Given methodological constraints, such trials are best suited to the study of chronic, stable conditions, and so have had a limited role in progressive conditions like cancer. According to evidence-base…

  • The ‘power of 1’: The ethics and epistemology of ‘N-of-1 trials’ in oncology

    Open AccessSarah Heynemann, Wendy Lipworth et al.ARTICLEResearch Ethics2026

    Conduct of clinical research involving single patient subjects has a relatively long history. The notion of ‘N-of-1 trials’ first emerged in the 1980s, introducing a method for evaluating the impact of alternately exposing individuals ‘on’ and ‘off’ a particular treatment. In the years since, interest in conventional, randomised, ‘N-of-1 trials’ has fluctuated, though recent advancements in data science, remote monitoring technologies and, more b…

  • Understanding “interests”: Historical insights for managing conflicts of interest in healthcare and biomedical science

    Open AccessMiriam Wiersma, Ian Kerridge et al.ARTICLEMedicine Health Care and Philosophy2025

    Conflicts of interest are widely regarded as being morally, socially, and scientifically problematic in the many sectors, including in the health sector. There has been considerable attention paid to managing conflicts of interest in clinical practice, medical research and health policy through strategies such as recusal, disinvestment, and disclosure. While these efforts have been important, they are often based on a superficial account of “inte…

  • Attitudes to End-of-Life Care and Voluntary Assisted Dying Amongst Members of the Australian Jewish community

    Open AccessEli W Janover, Camille La Brooy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion and Health2025

    The implementation of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) in the Australian State of Victoria in 2019 has stimulated discussions about end-of-life care and dying in many communities. Various attempts have been made to represent the attitudes of the Jewish community, a distinct culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) group, in terms that suggest a unified set of opinions that opposes VAD policies. This research aimed to explore attitudes to VAD in…

  • Therapeutic misunderstandings in modern research

    Open AccessSarah Heynemann, Wendy Lipworth et al.ARTICLEBioethics2024

    Clinical trials play a crucial role in generating evidence about healthcare interventions and improving outcomes for current and future patients. For individual trial participants, however, there are inevitably trade‐offs involved in clinical trial participation, given that trials have traditionally been designed to benefit future patient populations rather than to offer personalised care. Failure to understand the distinction between research an…

  • Choreographing a good death: Carers' experiences and practices of enacting assisted dying

    Open AccessSophie Lewis, Camille La Brooy et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2024Cited by: 5References: 9

    The proliferation of assisted dying legislative reforms globally is a significant change in the social and medico-legal landscape of end-of-life care. Understanding the impacts of these legislative reforms on family members who care for a dying person is vital, yet under-theorised in research. In this article, drawing on semi-structured interviews with 42 carers for a person who has sought assisted dying in Australia, and extending ideas of ontol…

  • The silent world of assisted reproduction: A qualitative account of communication between doctors and patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation in Australia

    Open AccessLouis Taffs, Ian Kerridge et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2023

    CONTEXT: In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is now a common assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure globally, with 8 million children alive today having been conceived utilising IVF. For many patients, IVF is a difficult experience with many discontinuing treatment because of emotional, relationship and financial stress, or intolerable physical side effects of hormone treatments. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: A qualitative study, in which 31 profes…

  • Predictors of post traumatic growth in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation survivors: A cross-sectional survey

    Open AccessGemma McErlean, Caley Tapp et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2023

    In this study - the largest study of PTG in long-term allogeneic HSCT survivors - we found that growth appears ubiquitous, with 99% of survivors reporting some degree of PTG and 67% reporting moderate-high levels of PTG. Importantly, we found no association with GVHD or chronic physical post-HSCT morbidity, or adverse financial, occupational or sexual impacts. This suggests that it is the necessity for and experience of, HSCT itself that foments …

  • Raising the Dead? Limits of CPR and Harms of Defensive Practices

    Open AccessGeorge Skowronski, Ian Kerridge et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2022

    We describe the case of an eighty‐four‐year‐old man with disseminated lung cancer who had been receiving palliative care in the hospital and was found by nursing staff unresponsive, with clinically obvious signs of death, including rigor mortis. Because there was no documentation to the contrary, the nurses commenced cardiopulmonary resuscitation and called a code blue, resulting in resuscitative efforts that continued for around twenty minutes. …

  • Are my religious beliefs anyone’s business? A framework for declarations in health and biomedicine

    Narcyz Ghinea, Miriam Wiersma et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2021

    Conflicts of interests (COI) are typically divided into those that are financial and those that are not. While there is general agreement that financial COIs have a significant impact on decisions and need to be declared and managed, the status of non-financial COIs continues to be disputed. In a recent BMJ feature article it was proposed that religious beliefs should be routinely declared as an interest. The article generated over 41 responses f…

  • Examining diversity in public willingness to participate in offshore human biobanking: An Australian mixed methods study

    Open AccessChristine Critchley, Miriam Wiersma et al.ARTICLEPublic Understanding of Science2020

    To ensure their sustainability and scientific utility, human biobanks are networking internationally. Sharing biospecimens and associated data across jurisdictions raise a number of practical, ethical, legal and social challenges that could reduce the publics’ willingness to donate their much needed tissue for research purposes. This research aims to identify the impact of biobank location on willingness to donate through a national quantitative …

  • Treat them into the grave: Cancer Physicians' Attitudes Towards the Use of High-Cost Cancer Medicines at the End of Life

    Open AccessMiriam Wiersma, Narcyz Ghinea et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2019Cited by: 2References: 55

    The prescribing of high-cost cancer medicines at the end of life has become a focus of criticism, due primarily to concerns about the safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of these medicines in this clinical context. In response to these concerns, a number of interventions have been proposed - frequently focused on improving physician-patient communication at the end of life. Underpinning these strategies is the assumption that the prescribing …

  • Conflicts of interest in neoliberal times: Perspectives of Australian medical students

    C Mayes, Ian Kerridge et al.ARTICLEHealth Sociology Review2016References: 44

    In this paper we report on the findings from six focus groups conducted with Australian medical students. The focus groups discussed students’ perceptions of conflicts of interest and the influence of commercial values in health care and medical education. Our research revealed that students were aware of a number of structural influences that affected the medical education they received and that had the potential to shape their attitudes and pra…

  • Overcoming Entrenched Disagreements: The Case of Misoprostol for Post‐Partum Haemorrhage

    Open AccessNarcyz Ghinea, Wendy Lipworth et al.ARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2015

    The debate about whether misoprostol should be distributed to low resource communities to prevent post‐partum haemorrhage ( PPH ), recognised as a major cause of maternal mortality, is deeply polarised. This is in spite of stakeholders having access to the same evidence about the risks and benefits of misoprostol. To understand the disagreement, we conducted a qualitative analysis of the values underpinning debates surrounding community distribut…

  • Implementing a One Health approach to emerging infectious disease: Reflections on the socio-political, ethical and legal dimensions

    Open AccessChris Degeling, Jane Johnson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Based on the philosophical review and critical analysis of scholarship around the theory and practice of One Health it is clear that EID events are not simply about pathogens jumping species barriers; they are comprised of complex and contingent sets of relations that involve socioeconomic and socio-political drivers and consequences with the latter extending beyond the impact of the disease. Therefore, the effectiveness of policies based on One …

  • Liminal Reproductive Experiences After Therapies for Hematological Malignancy

    Open AccessLesley E Halliday, Lesley Halliday et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2015Cited by: 5References: 41

    In this article, we discuss the psychosocial health of young women related to fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood after therapies for hematological malignancies. We utilized a hermeneutical phenomenological approach to conduct in-depth interviews with 12 women who had previously received treatment for a hematological malignancy and had experienced uncertainty surrounding their ability to start or extend their biological family. Our presented fin…

  • Ethics & Evidence in Medical Debates: The Case of Recombinant Activated Factor VII

    Open AccessNarcyz Ghinea, Wendy Lipworth et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2014

    While ethics and evidence‐based medicine are often viewed as separate domains of inquiry and practice, what we know influences what we can ethically justify doing, and what we see as our moral obligations shapes the way we interpret evidence. The boundaries between the moral and epistemic spheres become particularly blurred when the health of people is at stake and even more so when no “officially” recommended medical intervention is available to…
