研究领域

Angela Fenwick’s research interest are focused on how ethical issues impact on medical practice and how practice can be improved through greater understanding of the ethical concerns and of different people’s perspectives. Predictive genetic testing of children This work explores how parents and healthcare professions view genetic testing in childhood for adult onset conditions, how they can best communicate with each other and whether testing might be acceptable in certain circumstances. Using both a survey of current practice across the UK and in-depth interviews of parents, young people and practitioners, the study aims to provide an evidence basis to guidance and help improve communication about these issues. http://www.soton.ac.uk/cels/research_projects/gtoc.html Perspectives on the limits of confidentiality in genetic medicine Despite the recognition by the GMC and the Joint Committee of Medical Genetics that genetic data raise issues of ownership and joint interests, there is little in-depth knowledge about what different parties think about the issues raised and the implication of these for practice. The research is exploring the views of academics, members of genetic specialist interest groups and healthcare professionals, in order to shed light on the complexity of the issues involved and how clinical practice might take these into account The use of forceps at the PAH: the decision making process The use of forceps to deliver babies at the Princess Anne Hospital (PAH) has increased over the last five years, and it is unclear why this is the case. The research is examining the underlying reasons for this trend by following clinician’s decision making process using observations, in-depth interviews and questionnaires.
