Welcome to the ethics section of the London Journal of Primary Care

Primary care ethics has acquired a definitive place on the ‘bioethics map’, now represented by a substantial body of empirical research, literary texts and critical discourse. Primary care ethics does not, on the whole, concern the dramatic or esoteric ethical issues popular in the bioethical journals and the lay press. Instead it is engaged with issues and problems that confront normal individuals in the course of their everyday life. These can be subtle and complex, but are highly relevant to the practice of medicine and the business of living. In fact, much of the empirical research focuses on how primary care practitioners perceive and solve the diverse array of ethical challenges and dilemmas they encounter in the course of their daily work.
