My University of Cambridge webpage summarises my research and education activities: https://www.phpc.cam.ac.uk/people/pcu-group/pcu-teaching-staff/elizabeth-fistein/ I am a medical practitioner (I graduated from St Mary's Hospital Medical School, Imperial College London in 1996). I have been on the GMC Specialist Register since 2008. My clinical expertise is in the fields of general adult psychiatry and rehabilitation psychiatry (working with people with complex, long-term mental ill-health). I hold an honorary contract at Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Trust, where I provide clinical ethics expertise to the Clinical Ethics Committee. My academic interests are in mental health law and ethics and in professionalism, ethics and law education for medical students. My doctoral research at the University of Cambridge, funded by a Wellcome Trust studentship, investigated the potential justifications for the use of treatment without consent. I have been running the Medical Ethics and Law course at the School of Clinical Medicine (University of Cambridge) since 2008 and, since 2016, I have been the director of the Professional Responsibilities Curriculum, encompassing ethics & law, teaching and learning, patient safety, clinical leadership & MDT-working. In 2020, I became a Fellow of Lucy Cavendish College, where I am a Tutor and Director of Studies in Clinical Medicine, working to widen participation in medicine and Cambridge by attracting students from all backgrounds, including those that are currently under-represented.
