New online video clips from the BMA’s Medical Ethics Committee


In two new online interviews for BMAtv, Dr Tony Calland, Chairman of the BMA’s Medical Ethics Committee (MEC), talks about how doctors can get involved in the work of the MEC, while in a second interview Dr Julian Sheather Deputy Head of the MEC’s Secretariat, explains what the Mental Capacity Act in England means for doctors and patients.

During these short interviews the following issues are covered:
  • What has the MEC been working on in the last year?
  • What should a member do if they want to join the MEC?
  • The Mental Capacity was introduced in England on 1 October 2007 – what has it meant for doctors and patients?
  • What issues do doctors most frequently call the Ethics Secretariat about?
  • If a BMA member has a query about an ethical dilemma who should they contact?
