The Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society’s mission is to research the complex social, cultural, ethical, legal, and technological landscape that characterises contemporary biomedicine and healthcare, using critical perspectives from across the social studies of science and medicine, bioethics, and the health humanities,
The Mason Institute investigates the interface between medicine, life sciences and the law in relation to medical and bioethical developments on a national and global scale.
This research cluster within the School of Social and Political science attempts to identify, understand and answer some of the important questions that medicine and biology pose to individuals, groups and wider society. The diversity of the research is not solely based on what is happening in biomedical technology, science and practice, but the ways in which these advances raise issues that challenge the ethical, legal, political, economic and social status quo.

• Universal Health Coverage;
