摘要：The Ethox Centre is a multidisciplinary bioethics research centre in the Department of Public Health in the Medical Sciences Division of the University of Oxford. The Centre has its origins in the Oxford Practice Skills Project which piloted and evaluated the development of ethics teaching for medical students in Oxford between 1990 and 1994. This led to the publication of the Oxford Practice Skills Course by Oxford University Press in 1996 and to the creation of the first substantive post in medical ethics in Oxford in 1997. The Centre was formally established in 1998 under the directorship of Tony Hope, and was complemented by the creation, in the same year, of the Ethox Foundation – a charity established to support the work of the Ethox Centre. Michael Parker, who joined the Centre early in 1999, has been the Centre’s director since January 2004. Ethox currently has a staff of around twenty researchers, administrators and doctoral students.
