From April to June 2024 a Citizens’ Jury of 30 people from across England spent eight weeks deliberating on whether there should be a change in the law on assisted dying in England. Today the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, which commissioned the project, has published an interim report, presenting the Jury findings in their own words.

HVM is currently working with Understanding Patient Data, NHS England and the Ada Lovelace Institute on a programme of deliberative public engagement sponsored by the Office of Life Sciences (OLS). The topic is fascinating and complex: exploring a fair partnership between the NHS and researchers, charities and industry on uses of NHS data.
