Public Health and Ethics: Public Health Issues in Application - Lifestyles and Chronic Diseases

Next up in our CENTRES series of modules in Clinical Ethics beyond more commonly debated themes, Prof Angus Dawson from the Centre for Biomedical Ethics discusses the topic 'Public Health and Ethics' and how it differs from ethical issues in clinical care.
In the second video from a set of four, Prof Dawson employs the example of chronic diseases influenced by lifestyle choices to explain why public health action may be necessary over and above individual care.
