About this event
- Date and time Tue 3 Dec 2024 from 6:00pm to 10:00pm
- Location Royal Society of Medicine
- Organised by History of Medicine Society
Join the Sarah Hughes Lecture as we explore, 'Press freedom and personal privacy – a clash of rights?'. Led by the ex-President of the Supreme Court UK the lecture will develop the argument that while there is a precious right to press freedom conversely there is also a precious right to personal privacy. Both are qualified rights but they can be restricted in good cause. We will explore these conflicts in-depth and discuss, how they can be reconciled? And if they can be?
The lecture will be introduced by the President of the History of Medicine Society, Mr Andreas Demetriades, who will then hand over to the Chair of the Sarah Hughes Trustee, Mr Adrian Berry, who will chair the meeting. The winners of the Sarah Hughes Trust prize and the History of Medicine Society, in conjunction with the Medical Journalists' Association, will present their work and be awarded a prize following the lecture by Dame Brenda Hale.
By attending this meeting, you will:
- Learn the current best practice in journalism, humanities and medicine in a historical context.
- Be able to use this information in everyday life.
- Be able to promote effective communication between medicine, journalism and humanity.
The History of Medicine Society: Sarah Hughes Trust Prize in conjunction with the Medical Journalists' Association will also be presented and awarded at the meeting. Click here to make a submission.
