Profile →This standalone paper applies a distinction from political philosophy to patient and public involvement. Hannah Pitkin’s work in the 1960s separates being representative of a group, in the sense of resembling it or sharing its characteristics, from being a representative for a group, in the sense of acting on its behalf. The two come apart, and involvement practice often runs them together. Sheehan draws on empirical work with contributors about how they understand what they are doing.
Mark Sheehan is Professor of Bioethics at the Ethox Centre, University of Oxford, and NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Oxford Ethics Fellow. He works on research governance, public health ethics, and the justification of patient and public involvement, and advises the National Research Ethics Service and NICE.
This is the second event in Professor Mark Sheehan’s talks on PPIE. The first event is titled “The nature, role, and limits of PPI”, scheduled to take place on Thursday 10 September at Shaw Foundation Alumni House. That talk is open to the public. Attendance is free, with registration required. See more details here.
