Medical humanities
Medical Humanities at the Wellcome Trust promotes research and capacity building in biomedical ethics and the history of medicine. We are also interested in how research into medical history and ethics can influence policy and practice, and we aim to engage the public on the societal and historical impacts of biomedical science.
We support research into and scholarly discussion of the ethical, legal, social, cultural and public policy aspects of biomedical research and healthcare.
This funding ecompasses the historical study of all factors affecting the medical and health experience of people and animals.
