From a webinar hosted by HVHF 20th May 2026 entitled Hope in Adversity.
We were honoured to host two inspirational speakers, Dr Libby Sallnow, palliative care consultant, and Dr Shazia Munir, GP, specialised in care of asylum seekers and refugees.
This is Shazia’s informative and excellent presentation. Enjoy!

Paquita de Zulueta (chair, HVHF) offered reflections to a mixed audience (over 100) on sharing decisions in the the context of suffering and dying at the end of life in conversation with Caesar Atuire, philosopher and global health ethicist, and Gillian Hayes, palliative care nurse, chaired by Dr Liliana Bertini of the Bios Centre.
This was very well received and generated a great deal of discussion.
A recording of the session is here.
The Della Fish Foundation has generously offered a small grant to support our Reflethics programme.

Our first newsletter for 2025 is out! Packed with information, upcoming events and more! https://mailchi.mp/45fa725c0a61/eo9owz1zos-17990568
Since November 2024 HVHF has launched a new initiative to offer health and social care professionals a confidential, respectful space to explore and reflect on the ethical challenges and dilemmas (moral events) they encounter in their work. Facilitation is provided by two experienced facilitators, one of whom has a background in clinical ethics.
There is evidence that interdisciplinary conversations of this kind can offer some protection from moral distress, promote confidence in coping with such events, help gain a greater sense of agency, as well as enhance a positive work environment.
These events are on-line and FREE. If there is sufficient demand and in order to increase availability, we shall extend to two sessions monthly (3rd Friday lunchtime as well).
You can find more details and sign up via Eventbrite here.
