The Tuke Institute is
looking to expand internationally the number of people contributing
to the work of the Institute. In particular (but not exclusively),
we are looking for clinicians and scientists with personal
experience of chronic illness and/or with expertise in certain
areas to join the Advisory Groups.
- members of the public who have chronic physical or mental illness, with expertise to share
- general and specialist biomedicine
- nursing medicine
- psychological and behavioural medicine
- medical, health, occupational, and clinical psychology
- clinical and community social work
- medical sociology
- preventative medicine and public health
- clinical and public education in medicine
- medical journalism
- medical administration
- medical law
- medical ethics
- general law
- organisational and funding development
and more ...
We emphasise the importance of contributing in the most convenient and most interesting way for each contributor. Confidentiality and privacy are paramount and there is no requirement for disclosure of illness status to anyone in the Institute. The policy of the Tuke Institute is also to support limited, self-determined disclosure. We are fully aware of the professional risks of medical practitioners in disclosing their illness status to colleagues and seek to have a fully supportive ethos.
The Tuke Institute is committed to working equally with clinicians in all established traditions of medicine, such as Asian medicine, Western medicine, herbal medicine, pharmaceutical medicine, etc.
