Description
Summary:This thematic philosophy edition of the journal brings together a range of papers addressing fundamental questions about the nature and value of clinical practice in rapidly changing and deeply challenging times. As practitioners across the world are confronting the issues of how to deliver care, establish meaningful relationships with patients and their families, and how to understand, correctly characterize and analyse the complex problems of individuals in the context of PPE, social distancing and remote access, authors look at the developing relationship between technical and humanistic features of care.An examination of the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in a variety of clinical contexts is followed by a series of papers addressing the irreducibly human features of clinical reasoning and practice. These papers offer new angles on what has been a key preoccupation of this journal since its inception—the nature of clinical judgement and its relationship with our understanding of knowledge, explanation and evidence in research and practice.
