Nature of SIG Discussion of philosophical and ethical issues associated with pain, suffering and their management
Description of Activities
and Scientific Focus
Annual 3-day meetings devoted to discussion of philosophical and ethical issues. These are held alternate years at Scargill House in Yorkshire and Launde Abbey in Leicestershire (both Christian retreat centres, although the meetings are not primarily religious in content and open to those of all faiths and none), which being set in some of the loveliest landscapes in Britain, provide ideal surroundings for meetings of a reflective nature, as well as for mental and physical recreation - walking is an important feature of the programmes. The format of the meetings, with considerably more time devoted to discussion of papers than the presentation, is designed to maximise interchange of ideas and ventilation of problems.
