research project on teaching ethics to medical students. Andrew
Papanikitas, Primary Care Health Sciences Dr Andrew Papanikitas
qualified as a general practitioner (MRCGP) in 2008. His PhD in
medical education was awarded in June 2014 and is entitled, "From
the classroom to the clinic: ethics education and general
practice." The PhD is one element of a broad interest in
professional ethics education as applied in medicine (and more
specifically primary care) and in the notion that education
represents the active translation of ideas between the academy and
practice. Dr Papanikitas is part of an informal network of
academics, educators, and clinicians with an interest in the study
of ethics in, of, and for primary healthcare. He welcomes
conversations on this topic, especially via the 'Primary Care
Ethics' LinkedIn Group which is now approaching 300 members from
the UK and internationally. John Spicer, Health Education England
