Abstract

This report draws on themes discussed at a conference, ‘Qualitative research: a vital resource for ethical healthcare’, and I am grateful to the speakers Paul Atkinson, Mildred Blaxter and Clare Moynihan, whose lectures I have drawn on in writing the report. The report and the conference were supported by the UK Forum for Health Care, Law and Ethics, which promotes multidisciplinary discussions, and the Wellcome Trust’s Biomedical Ethics Programme. The Trust funds research into the social, ethical and public policy implications of scientific and medical advances, and especially multidisciplinary research which crosses traditional boundaries between the natural, medical, and social sciences and the humanities (details of research funding schemes can be found at www.wellcome.ac.uk). In such collaborative work, researchers are examining knowledge from other disciplines and, perhaps more importantly, learning about different ways of collecting and understanding that knowledge. This involves working across further boundaries between pure and applied ideas, and between research directed towards abstract theorizing and that directed towards informing policy and practice.
